Benoît Allard 6e432d5ecb syslinux: build with the target toolchain
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.

README

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
