The upcoming support for LUKS2 disc encryption requires us to include a parser for base64-encoded data, as it is used to represent salts and digests. As gnulib already has code to decode such data, we can just add it to the boostrapping configuration in order to make it available in GRUB. The gnulib module makes use of booleans via the <stdbool.h> header. As GRUB does not provide any POSIX wrapper header for this, but instead implements support for bool in <sys/types.h>, we need to patch base64.h to not use <stdbool.h> anymore. We unfortunately cannot include <sys/types.h> instead, as it would then use gnulib's internal header while compiling the gnulib object but our own <sys/types.h> when including it in a GRUB module. Because of this, the patch replaces the include with a direct typedef. A second fix is required to make available _GL_ATTRIBUTE_CONST, which is provided by the configure script. As base64.h does not include <config.h>, it is thus not available and results in a compile error. This is fixed by adding an include of <config-util.h>.

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. There are a number of important user-visible differences from the first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please see: info grub Introduction 'Changes from GRUB Legacy'
