Syslinux - Feb 2014 - VMware with UEFI fails to boot

Hi there,
I am trying to setup a bootable PXELinux (Using 6.02) over UEFI.
Currently, I am using DNSMasq for this. PXE with BIOS works perfectly fine for
me.
As I don't have any UEFI devices here, I am using VMware Workstation 10.0.1
for testing.

My DNSMasq setup has been extended, to load also UEFI:
dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
dhcp-match=set:efi-ia32,option:client-arch,6
dhcp-boot=tag:efi-ia32,bootia32.efi
dhcp-match=set:efi-x86_64,option:client-arch,7
dhcp-boot=tag:efi-x86_64,bootx64.efi
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/var/lib/tftp/boot

That seems to work, as VMware chooses in BIOS-mode pxelinux.0 and in UEFI-mode
bootx64.efi.
But after loading in UEFI-mode it crashes. VMware says: "The firmware
encountered an unexpected exception. The virtual machine cannot boot"
The virtual screen shows:
"Getting cached packet"
"My IP is 192.168.23.25"
"_"

The DNSMasq log says:

I am missing some dependencies? There are no error messages, why it is
crashing..

Known issue.  http://bugzilla.syslinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35 and
perhaps a few others but this should be resolved in the master branch.
 I just committed my fix this morning so there's no -pre release yet.

Is that really fixed in git? I've checkout syslinux about one hour ago from
git. I ran a make all and copied the new syslinux.efi and ldlinux.e64.
But it didn't changed anything. Still the same error on VMware.
