[Bug 1880259] [NEW] please build a monolithic powerpc.elf

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

please build a monolithic powerpc.elf

When creating POWER8 bootable .iso images, one needs to create
powerpc.elf.

It would be nice, if it was prebuilt in side the deb, like various
gcdx64.efi things are prebuilt in the monolothic arch directly.

I.e. something like:

$ grub-mkimage --directory '/usr/lib/grub/powerpc-ieee1275' --prefix
'()/boot/grub' --output '/usr/lib/grub/powerpc-
ieee1275/monolithic/powerpc.elf' --format 'powerpc-ieee1275'
--compression 'auto' linux minicmd normal reboot iso9660

** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
