Ping!
Bug was already filed for this. however at the moment the new grub doesnt build *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 670323 ***
It builds perfectly on my PC using the attached SPEC file, what is the error on your side?

Wow, Fedora developers cannot temporarily add "-Werror=unused-but-set-variable" GCC flag to the spec file? I won't be surprised if GRUB developers don't care about GCC 4.6.x, so this bug will take several more months to be fixed in upstream. Does that mean Fedora users have to depend on GRUB developers mercy?

I'm going to install GCC 4.6 right now to check if there's really an error. If there is, I'm gonna attach a new SPEC file so that people could use a fresh GRUB release regardless Fedora developers utter sleepiness and occupation. :) I won't bother writing to a mailing list on the weekend - I bet my message will be overlooked.
this is a duplicate please post comments in the correct bug. whinging in bugzilla or on a list will not help get a package updated any quicker. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 670323 ***
Cool, I'm _offering_ my help, I've updated the SPEC file so it worked with GRUB 1.99 and you call it whining? Thank you very much! (it's sarcasm in case you've missed it - I wanted to use the most often used obscene word instead of "thank", but it won't be appropriate for this place).
