This is being fixed on GRUB 2.  Check the mailing list (grub-devel) for ongoing discussion.

This issue also shows up when you build on certain amd64 based systems.  It has been reported to the binutils project as http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5059 and they believe there is a problem with the ./configure check in grub.

Tried compiling and installing under Cygwin on Win2000 machine,
but ./configure command fails with following message :

checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... no
configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils

Even after compiling and installing latest binutils (2.26.1)
the error message is the same.

config.log file is attached .
