@arraybolt3 @vkc It's possible this is an issue, but having read the thread the overwhelming impression I get is of people trying to shove effort onto the developer, and being unwilling to help. There are comments that most of the blobs have now located scripts for building, and a comment within the last day that the GRUB related blobs are from other distributions. I'm not seeing anyone e.g. doing a CRC check on the blob vs other sources, or submitting diffs to fetch the files from another project.

The latest comment takes the biscuit 'I promise that as soon as this gets satisfyingly fixed and the worries come down, I'm becoming a regular financial contributor. and I'm sure many in the thread will dot the same.'

haha. hahahahahahahaha. bonk. They tried that before, it didn't work.

Good point on the CDROM emulator though, I use a Zalman VE300 for that purpose.
