Hello, I'm getting an error on compilaton of grub-gfx from AUR:
RUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
My binutils are upgraded, why is it throwing this error message? any clue? I also made a backup of /boot/grub/menu.lst and still throws an error, kinda stuck here.

I'm getting the same thing. I did read the note that said this cannot be compiled on x86_64 architecture, which I have. But I am running arch in 32 bit, so does this apply?
I haven't tried it yet, but check out the comment by Cory, he posted a 64 bit version: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2416

I'm running 32Bit, I gave up with x86_64, heh. And still the same thing.. Who knows.

Can you guys try grub-legacy-fedora-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47959 . It compiles fine with the binutils from the repos. Although I maintain that package, I do not use it (I use grub2). I think that package also include gfx (spalshimage) support but it would be better if someone confirms it. That package builds fine in x86_64 with gcc-multilib. I have not checked whether it compiles without gcc-multilib (grub2 1.99 compiles fine without multilib in x86_64).

For grub-legacy-fedora-git splashimage syntax see http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=1243 .
Also can someone confirm whether the grub-legacy-fedora-git x86_64 package compiles WITHOUT multilib? If it works, I suppose we can remove grub-gfx package from AUR.

Try the latest grub-gfx PKGBUILD from AUR.
