 Hi!
 
 The ‘struct gprovider’ got two new members in the middle of a public
 struct, so this might cause programs built against the old headers to
 access the wrong member with the new library or the other way around.
 That's exactly what happened to us at least with grub2.
 
 I'm attaching the trivial patch we are using in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD.
 
 thanks,
 guillem
