stage2/Makefile.am:35: error: 'pkglibdir' is not a legitimate directory for 'DATA'

The attached patch resolves the issue.

OK, looks like that patch isn't a full solution. grub-install looks in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc for stage1, et. al, but they are moved to /usr/share/grub by the patch. I've updated the patch (attached) to still put the bits in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc and point grub-install to the correct path.

We'll probably drop support for grub1 in a few weeks so I probably won't implement the build fix atm.
