Syslinux - Aug 2012 - Compile syslinux64.exe on ubuntu

Hello,
I wanted to recompile syslinux64.exe (windows 64bit binary) on ubuntu.
The default ./find-mingw64.sh script failed to locate mingw64 on
ubuntu, even after

   root at htpc:~# apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64

So I had to patch the script to let it find mingw64 on ubuntu as well.
Patch is below, please apply to syslinux sources:


--- syslinux-4.05/win64/find-mingw64.sh.orig 2012-08-28 12:49:17.023627307 +0200
+++ syslinux-4.05/win64/find-mingw64.sh 2012-08-28 12:49:04.167627212 +0200

     echo "$prefix"

As you can see I'm not good in generating official (read: usable)
patches, I can see it is not possible to directly apply the patch.
Anyway, I hope you got the point! :)

Thank you

Could you try building syslinux-4.06-pre11 with your patch and see if it
works for you?  We're having a problem with the Win32 binary recently...
