For rpm package compling, a RHEL 7 environment on powerpc64 is required. Please make sure all the necessary build tools are installed, the list of the build tools can be showed by:
==================================================
rpm -qpR <the name of your grub2 source rpm file>

(3)run "./makerpm" to generate the grub2-xcat rpm, which can be found in current dir.

(4)upload the grub2-xcat rpm to the build server and checkin the modified Makefile to xcat-dep git code base.

2. build grub2-deb rpm  

For deb package generating, a Debian or Ubunutu environment on any architecture wilth alien installed should work. 
running "./makedeb" will convert the grub2-xcat rpm generated above to deb package.
