Yes, double checked.

Sure, find attached.

Fine! :-)

Ah, that's what I've been missing.  Thanks!

Added

+     '(;; two warnings: suggest braces, signed/unsigned comparison
+       #:configure-flags '("--disable-werror")

these seem harmless...

and this one test

+                     ;; fails
+                     (substitute* "tests/grub_func_test.in"
+                       (("set -e") "exit 77\nset -e")))))))

fails, I haven't looked into whether it's a new test or what it does or
why it may fail.

Greetings,
Jan
