In current ArchLinux iso (2019.04.01) when you boot in legacy mode and choose Hardware Information (HDT) in syslinux menu, then it fails to boot with the message:
Undef symbol FAIL: exp
Failed to load libgpl.c32
Failed to load COM32 file boot/syslinux/hdt.c32

I have tested it using archived iso files:
2018.08.01 - ok
2018.09.01 - fail
The only related change I see in releng is https://git.archlinux.org/archiso.git/commit/?id=ddad85c86aef056c5475139e13f771856b47d1f4 but it seems that it was not cause.
So probably it is upstream syslinux bug.
This task depends upon

Workaround suggested here https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=918915 worked for me: just used a libgpl.c32 from 2018.08.01 iso.
