I had a look in google about unnamed unions and I have seen some 
references about them with 2.95 but I was not able to compile with them. 
Maybe there is a gcc switch for them ?

Also, when compiling with an "old" system, there is this sed error message:

sed: -e expression #1, char 69: Extra characters after command

the sed version is:
$ sed -V
GNU sed version 3.02

so I have also replaced in gencmdlist.sh the following line:

#grep -v "^#" | sed -ne "/grub_register_command *( *\"/{s/.*( 
*\"\([^\"]*\)\".*/\1: $module/;p}"
grep -v "^#" | grep -e "grub_register_command *( *\"" | sed -ne 
"s/.*grub_register_command *( *\"\([^,\"]*\).*/\1: $module/;p"
