I'm building on Debian (Woody) though I don't think that's relevant.
Having found no build instructions, no configure script I decided on
'make'
It worked, except the ls command showed some files were not built because
there are old versions in the tarball.
I tried 'make clean all' but still I have old files:
ls -ltr kwdhash.gen version.gen ldlinux.bss ldlinux.sys ldlinux.bin pxelinux.0
mbr.bin isolinux.bin isolinux-debug.bin syslinux.com syslinux copybs.com
gethostip mkdiskimage memdisk/memdisk

Note that I deleted one file manually; it was rebuilt just fine.
Merry Xmas!
