Hi,
FYI, I rebuilt the entire [core] repo to check if everything currently
builds as is. I got the following build failures:
FAIL: coreutils
FAIL: crda
FAIL: flex
FAIL: gcc
FAIL: grub
FAIL: ndiswrapper
FAIL: udev
FAIL: vi
This was all done by rebuilding <pkg>/repos/core-{x86_64,any} with
extra-x86_64-build. So that explains the grub failure... Seven failures
out of 175 packages is not bad!
I will rebuild the rest with logging to look for the actual issues and
file bug reports as necessary.
Here are the causes:

FAIL:  coreutils
   - test suite failures due to btrfs on alderaan

FAIL:  crda
   - due to python2 transistion
   - has been fixed on trunk

FAIL:  flex
   - can not replicate - makeflags issue?

FAIL:  gcc
   - source download timeout...

FAIL:  ndiswrapper
   - patch: **** Can't open patch file /build/kernel-2.6.35.patch : No 
such file or directory
   - due to using $startdir instead of $srcdir

FAIL:  udev
   - /build/PKGBUILD: line 109: cd: /build/src/udev-compat-166: No such 
file or directory
   - due to now $pkgname being the actual package name in package_*() 
functions

FAIL:  vi
   - due to "force" not being an accepted option anymore
