I've never seen grub fail without modification since 1.98 as in this  
ticket here:  http://trac.cross-lfs.org/wiki/mirrors#BecomeaMirror

My pure64 x86 builds haven't ever errored on grub 2.00 either. Not  
sure what the problem is.

For a pure64 bit system there should only be stubs.h and it should be  
from stubs-64.h  It's been like that for a very long time now. There  
used to be issues with grub, but that has been fixed for a long time  
now.

Is there something else you are doing different that we don't know  
about?

Grub builds fine even when adding --platform=efi  which will install  
for x86_64-efi

If you add --target=x86_64, same thing.
If you add --target=i386 for i386-efi, same thing.

Not sure what the problem is.

I don't get a build error.

Sincerely,
