Testbed:

http://gzp.hu/gzpLinux/download/glibc-2.11.2/20100621/gzpLinux-20100621.iso

or tarball at

       
http://gzp.hu/gzpLinux/download/glibc-2.11.2/20100621/gzpLinux-20100621.tgz

After booting the system, and preparing network access, add nasm to the system:

$ wget -O - http://gzp.hu/gzpLinux/download/addons/H.Peter.Anvin/nasm.tar.gz |
gzip -cd | tar vxC /

Get the source:

$ wget -O -
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/syslinux-4.00-pre55.tar.gz
| gzip -cd | tar vx

Build:

$ cd syslinux-4.00-pre55 ; make

This is a build failure in gPXE and probably needs to be reported to
them [Cc'd.].

Could you actually list the versions of the tools, specifically gcc and
binutils?
