Corresponding source code
Unfortunately multiple directories have no defined semantic for other grub commands, so it does not look like the right place. May be consider something similar to how pkgdatadir is overridden at runtime. Something similar to
ln -s .../path-to-BIOS-build/grub-core i386-pc
ln -s .../path-to-EFI-build/grub-core x86_64-efi
pkglibdir=. grub-mkrescue ...
See grub-core/osdep/*/config.c.
It is better to send patches to grub-devel for wider review.
