Debian's GRUB fails to load on sparc64 with GPT

Hi!

Debian's grub2 package has now been updated to 2.04 and while it works fine
on sparc64 machines with Sun partition tables, it bails out on those with GPT
partition tables with:

{0} ok boot
Boot device: disk  File and args: 
WARNING: Unsupported bootblk image, can not extract fcode

WARNING: Bootblk fcode extraction failed
GRUB 
ERROR: Last Trap: Illegal Instruction

{0} ok

GRUB was installed with "grub-install /dev/vdiska". Interestingly, building
GRUB from git source from upstream and installing it, doesn't show this
problem, so it must be something Debian-specific.

The debian/rules file can be found in [1].

@Eric: Do you have any suggestion what could be wrong with the Debian package?

Adrian
