Building grub from srcrpm on CENTOS 6 x86_64
I'm trying to build grub from source to apply this patch

After I edit grub.cpec and replace the line

BuildRequires: autoconf /usr/lib64/crt1.o automake

results in an error

the phrase C compiler cannot create executables occurs both when the C compiler really cannot create executable files (for example, when compiling to an unsupported processor architecture), and when it simply does not exist. install it
Installed, located in /usr/lib64/ I ruled the spec file so that it would look for the dependency not in /usr/lib but in /usr/
lib64 rpm for 64 bit system
It is 32-bit despite the name of the package:
Accordingly, it needs 32-bit libraries to build
$ rpm2cpio grub-0.97-68.el6.x86_64.rpm |cpio -id
$ file sbin/grub
sbin/grub: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped
