There is a new pull request by Ophidiophobia against master on the void-packages repository

https://github.com/Ophidiophobia/void-packages grub
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/31795

grub: compile with -Os
Avoids being stuck at "GRUB loading." when booting through legacy BIOS

I built and configured the image of a new VM and when starting that image with qemu I was stuck very early with "GRUB loading.". Somebody on IRC was having the same problem and provided links which said it was because of how grub is compiled. (see changed template for sources)
I have created the VM image multiple times with and without the change and it always failed without the change and always succeeded with the change.
