A question

I'm trying to build an embedded system based on a Soekris board and have
run into a problem with building grub.  I can easily get around this,
but I'd like to report this and get a fix into buildroot.  So my
question is two fold, is my analysis correct and what is the "correct"
way to report it.

the problem with grub is two fold, the makefile is not included by the
top level makefile this can be fixed by the patch below.  The second
problem is that grub.mk starts with "ifeq ($(ARCH),i386)".  The Soekris
CPU is a 486 and grub works with x86 family, not just the i386.

Comments and advice welcome.

Patch follows:
