Syslinux - Oct 2008 - syslinux compile fails: undefined symbol `obj_kpxeprefix'

Dear all:

I am trying to compile syslinux on my machine. It's a Linux From Scratch 
build, pure 64 x86_64 with uClibc, using kernel 2.6.26.5, gcc 4.3.2 and 
binutils 2.18.0.

The compile fails at the following command:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/lfs/src/pkgs/syslinux/syslinux-3.72/gpxe'
make -C src EMBEDDED_IMAGE=../../core/pxelinux.0 bin/undionly.kpxe
make[2]: Entering directory 
`/home/lfs/src/pkgs/syslinux/syslinux-3.72/gpxe/src'
ld -m elf_i386 -N --no-check-sections  -T arch/i386/scripts/i386.lds  -u 
obj_kpxeprefix --defsym check_obj_kpxeprefix=obj_kpxeprefix   -u 
obj_undionly --defsym check_obj_undionly=obj_undionly   -u obj_config 
--defsym check_obj_config=obj_config  --defsym pci_vendor_id=0 --defsym 
pci_device_id=0 bin/blib.a -o bin/undionly.kpxe.tmp \
                -Map bin/undionly.kpxe.tmp.map
arch/i386/scripts/i386.lds:1: undefined symbol `obj_kpxeprefix' 
referenced in expression
make[2]: *** [bin/undionly.kpxe.tmp] Error 1


Can anyone tell me where this symbol comes from and how to resolve this 
situation? I tried simply ignoring it, because I don't need PXE, but it 
just fails later with:

/home/lfs/src/pkgs/syslinux/syslinux-3.72/linux/syslinux.c:490: 
undefined reference to `syslinux_ldlinux_len'
/home/lfs/src/pkgs/syslinux/syslinux-3.72/linux/syslinux.c:492: 
undefined reference to `syslinux_ldlinux'
/home/lfs/src/pkgs/syslinux/syslinux-3.72/linux/syslinux.c:517: 
undefined reference to `syslinux_ldlinux_len'
/home/lfs/src/pkgs/syslinux/syslinux-3.72/linux/syslinux.c:538: 
undefined reference to `syslinux_ldlinux'

And unfortunately that I do need. Any suggestions of what is happening?

Thank you for any assistance,

Chris
