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.
Fixes: #11861
