I do not:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ls -l /boot/grub/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Mar 27  2016 fonts/

I wonder if you are using a different version of Libreboot than me?  You
can check your version by following the instructions here:

https://libreboot.org/docs/index.html#version

Here is some other information which might help you figure out why my
Libreboot works without a libreboot_grub.cfg symlink, but yours doesn't:

* I use the GRUB payload (I presume you do, too).  Specifically, the ROM
I used was
libreboot_r20160907_grub_x200_8mb/x200_8mb_ukqwerty_vesafb.rom from the
release.

* My /boot/grub/grub.cfg file is on my root file system, which is ext4
and exists on the /dev/sda1 device.  I only have one disk in my laptop,
/dev/sda, and that's the one I installed GRUB onto (via 'guix system
reconfigure').  I encrypt my home partition (in my case, /dev/sda2) with
LUKS, but the rest is unencrypted.

I'm actually not sure what fancy tricks Libreboot (and its GRUB payload)
might be using to find the grub.cfg file.  But hopefully that
information helps.
