RE: GRUB configure error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy

[Sreeni Guduguntla]

Hi,

  My host plaform is running fedora 8. Here what I get
from "objcopy -V":
GNU objcopy version 2.17.50.0.18-1 20070731

  I am compiling openwrt linux distribution for
pcEngines(www.pcengines.ch) ALIX3C2 board. Openwrt
build system gives options for what tool chains to
use. I compiled with  binutils 2.16.1,2.17,2.18 but
same problem.  The Gcc version is: gcc 4.1.2.

Regards,

--Sreeni
