The Syslinux package in Debian (6.03+dfsg-14) Failed To Build From
Source.
Is there a better solution than [1]?
Is this issue only relevant for Debian? Or, can it be found in other
distros / cases too?
Is it still relevant for current upstream Syslinux git master?
TL;DR:
The original report is about:
"ldlinux.elf: Not enough room for program headers"
The workaround that was proposed in Debian is:
"Simple fix for build failure is to add --no-dynamic-linker to the
linker command lines."

Is this problem (or the solution) dependent on some (specific) version
(or update) in some Syslinux's dependency (ldd? glibc? coreutils?
binutils? gcc? other?)?
Is there something that the official (upstream) Syslinux source code
can do so as to improve/avoid this situation (for all distros)?
TIA,
Ady.
