libgcc for boot environment isn't always present and compatible. libgcc is often absent if endianness or bit-size at boot is different from running OS. libgcc may use optimised opcodes that aren't available on boot time. So instead of relying on libgcc shipped with the compiler, supply the functions in GRUB directly. Tests are present to ensure that those replacement functions behave the way compiler expects them to.
This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader. GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust, more powerful, and more portable. See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the GRUB 2 data and program files. Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information. The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>. More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual, accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2. Please look at the GRUB Wiki <http://grub.enbug.org> for testing procedures. There are a number of important user-visible differences from the first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy.
