This may be a nevermind situation. I was compiling on a 64 bit system. Changing the line described to if test "$grub_cv_prog_target_cc" = xno; then" Resulted in an error stating that neither start or _start was defined. This led me to the following post:

I believe that line 6938, which reads:

May contain an error. Perhaps this should read
if test "$grub_cv_prog_target_cc" = xno; then
or
if test "$grub_cv_prog_target_cc" = no; then
?
