From a report on the syslinux mailing list [0]:
The GNU linker now writes two segments of type PT_LOAD into the
program header. However, this is not supported by the wrapper
script that converts the shared object to an .efi executable.
As per comment in that file:
(...) Although there may be several LOAD program headers,
only one is currently copied.
A simple workaround I've found to work is to ask the linker to put
everything into one PT_LOAD program header.
The issue is ackowledged in the syslinux wiki page about building
syslinux [1]. This page refers to various resources, of which a Debian
patch [2].
This information is also referenced in #11861.

Until now, the host toolchain was used to build syslinux, as it was
not possible to build a 32-bit syslinux with a x86-64 toolchain.
However, syslinux requires gnu-efi, and gnu-efi is built using the
target toolchain. Mixing different toolchains doesn't work well, so
this commit changes the syslinux package to use the target toolchain
for syslinux as well. This is made possible by patches
0003-Fix-ldlinux.elf-Not-enough-room-for-program-headers-.patch and
0004-memdisk-Force-ld-output-format-to-32-bits.patch.
Since syslinux also contains some utilities that have to run on the
host, those have to continue being built with the host toolchain,
which requires patch 0005-utils-Use-the-host-toolchain-to-build.patch.
Patch 0006-lzo-Use-the-host-toolchain-for-prepcore.patch is about
building prepcore, another utility with the host toolchain as it is
required at build-time.
This was tested using a Buildroot's built x86_64 toolchain, and
checked that the output binaries are 32-bits. It was tested as well if
they actually boot on hardware.

The Buildroot coding style defines one space around make assignments and
does not align the assignment symbols.
This patch does a bulk fix of offending packages. The package
infrastructures (or more in general assignments to calculated variable
names, like $(2)_FOO) are not touched.
Alignment of line continuation characters (\) is kept as-is.
The sed command used to do this replacement is:
find * -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -i \
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*$#\1 \2#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\]\+\)$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\)\s*$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\(\s*\\\)#\1 \2\3#'
Brief explanation of this command:
^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\) a regular variable at the beginning of the line
\([?:+]\?=\) any assignment character =, :=, ?=, +=
\([^\\]\+\) any string not containing a line continuation
\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\) string, optional whitespace, followed by a
line continuation character
\(\s*\\\) optional whitespace, followed by a line
continuation character
Hence, the first subexpression handles empty assignments, the second
handles regular assignments, the third handles regular assignments with
line continuation, and the fourth empty assignments with line
continuation.
This expression was tested on following test text: (initial tab not
included)
FOO = spaces before
FOO = spaces before and after
FOO = tab before
FOO = tab and spaces before
FOO = tab after
FOO = tab and spaces after
FOO = spaces and tab after
FOO = \
FOO = bar \
FOO = bar space \
FOO = \
GENIMAGE_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf libconfuse
FOO += spaces before
FOO ?= spaces before and after
FOO :=
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
$(MAKE1) CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) -C
AT91BOOTSTRAP3_DEFCONFIG = \
AXEL_DISABLE_I18N=--i18n=0
After this bulk change, following manual fixups were done:
- fix line continuation alignment in cegui06 and spice (the sed
expression leaves the number of whitespace between the value and line
continuation character intact, but the whitespace before that could have
changed, causing misalignment.
- qt5base was reverted, as this package uses extensive alignment which
actually makes the code more readable.
Finally, the end result was manually reviewed.

This new version has a very, very weird build system. There are different
images that syslinux can now build:
- the plain legacy-bios images we already supported previously
- two new EFI32 and EFI64 applications
To build one or the other, the Makefile accepts one or more of:
make (bios|efi32|efi64)
Specify all of them, and it builds all. Specify 'install', and it installs
all of them, as one may expect.
Still a regular behaviour, is to build only a subset (down to one):
make bios <-- builds just the legacy-bios images
make efi32 bios <-- builds just the legacy-bios and efi32 images
Where it gets weird is the install procedure. Can you guess how it's done?
Hint: the syslinux guys have invented the multiple-argument parsing in
pure Makefiles. To build then install only the bios images, one would do:
make bios
make bios install
Yep, that's it. make bios install. Two arguments, one action.
That makes for some funky workarounds in our install procedure...
'bios' is the only image we support so far, with efi to come in a future
patch.
Using MAKE1, as there are issues with highly-parallel builds.

In the Config.in file of package foo, it often happens that there are other
symbols besides BR2_PACKAGE_FOO. Typically, these symbols only make sense
when foo itself is enabled. There are two ways to express this: with
depends on BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
in each extra symbol, or with
if BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
...
endif
around the entire set of extra symbols.
The if/endif approach avoids the repetition of 'depends on' statements on
multiple symbols, so this is clearly preferred. But even when there is only
one extra symbol, if/endif is a more logical choice:
- it is future-proof for when extra symbols are added
- it allows to have just one strategy instead of two (less confusion)
This patch modifies the Config.in files accordingly.
