Details:

The build process aborted with:

./build-grub-module-verifier :" Error: no symbol table and no .moddeps
section"

It's been discussed in openSUSE build service:

https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/423084

"The all_videos.module is special on Xen platform: it really is empty, there
are no video modules built for grub-xen. That's also why there's no .moddeps
section: all_videos doesn't depend on anything. So the check is overactive:
either it needs to accept empty modules, or all_videos.mod must be disabled
for Xen builds (or any other in which there are no video modules)."
