[PATCH] Building on Ubuntu 7.10 x86-64

[Vesa Jääskeläinen]

Hi All,

I needed to do following modification in order to build grub2 on my
64bit laptop. In case there is no complaints I will commit it to CVS.

Additionally I needed to install gcc-multilib package (and normal
packages like ruby, lzo...).

And after that just doing following made runnable binaries (at least in
qemu):

./autogen.sh

mkdir build-x86_64
cd build-x86_64

../configure --with-platform=pc --target=x86_64

make

Thanks,
Vesa Jääskeläinen
