Fix external toolchain build error for grub and migrate grub to the autotools macro

When building grub with an external toolchain I get the following failure.

Comment 1 Thomas Petazzoni 2010-07-13 18:21:56 UTC 
The grub.mk file has been completely rewritten during the bootloaders-cleanup work, and here Grub compiles properly with an external toolchain.
