I tried to install GRUB using a ELF boot image:

So, the generated ELF image is too big. No idea yet how to address this.
It does seem to work, however. At least with GPT:
GNU GRUB version 2.02+dfsg1-9

Did you maybe already install the v1 version on this GPT disk?
No, I didn’t. I only ever tried v2 on this machine. In fact, I built v2 first, then ran the tests.
As both v1 and v2 use the same version number it's not clear if this is one or the other.
Yes, but I know what I did. I‘m not sure why you are questioning that. Do you see any unexpected results?
