grub has to build this way, even on x86_64 systems. It must build against glibc-static.i686 and /usr/lib/crt1.o. Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: If you want to rebuild the grub package, you must use the glibc-static.i686 package and not the glibc-static.x86_64 package to meet the build requirements. Technical note updated.

Patch for grub-0.97 failing to build on x86_64 hosts
This *actually solves* the grub dependency problem of requiring glibc-static.i686 on x86_64 architecture, and applies the solution only to the x86_64 build environment to avoid adventures on PPC or other architectures.
