grub2 fails to compile with the following error:

gettext/gettext.c:37:36: error: storage size of 'main_context' isn't known
 static struct grub_gettext_context main_context, secondary_context;

file grub2-2.00/grub-core/gettext/gettext.c

the structure grub_gettext_context is not defined until line 62 line

The attached patch contains the changes I made to fix the issue

Thanks for your report!

Could you provide the Buildroot version, and Buildroot configuration file that allow to produce this build failure?
