Re: [PATCH] New object format

[Bean]

Hi,

Update:

Now change kernel.img to kernel.mod, and export symbol using
GRUB_EXPORT instead of EXPORT_FUNC and EXPORT_VAR. grub-mkimage would
link all modules files to generate core.img. The symbol list is
generated by grub-mkimage, no need for symlist.c anymore.

Here are some test results using the latest lib branch and
corresponding unpatched version (svn r2435). The test uses mingw in a
windows host:
