Details

Description:

There is a checksum mismatch for the source of syslinux (I'm afraid, brtln introduced this due to my appeal). If the wrong checksum is corrected (replaced by output of "makepkg -g"), then the compilation fails with:
ld: ldlinux.elf: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N

Additional info:
* package version(s)
git revision 851ff12e2c067e44ef0058cebdf22112dcd683db
* config and/or log files etc.
log is attached

Cheers,

This seems to have been introduced in binutils-2.28 (binutils-2.27 gets further...) - see http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Building for a workaround. The build still failed as it seems that -fno-pie is required (also mentioned on the linked page).

-fno-PIE been added a while ago https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/syslinux&id=ed025637dcd9d6377a7444367aef96026986f8a9

The build compilation should be fine now.
