I pushed this bit on your behalf as commit
ab100b905f4073b24d69af3de6de61c4c55ce27d.

It=E2=80=99s a bit sad that the closure of =E2=80=98grub-efi=E2=80=99 goes =
from 162=C2=A0MiB to
223=C2=A0MiB because of Perl, which is used to run this tiny =E2=80=98ckbco=
mp=E2=80=99
program.  At some point we should consider translating it to Scheme,
especially since it=E2=80=99s essentially data.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
