Well, the problem is same as the grub pkgs. syslinux(-bios) contains utilities which should be matching the kernel ARCH, apart from the modules in /usr/lib/syslinux/bios (which are 32-bit irrespective of kernel ARCH). Syslinux efi32 modules are also 32-bit (syslinux-efi32), but efi64 modules are 64-bit ELF (similar to grub-efi-x86_64) and this specifically requires x86_64 to build. So there are 2 ways of building this: 1. Similar to current grub pkgs. Syslinux bios (along with the utils) and efi32 in one split-pkgs PKGBUILD (pkgs will be marked 'x86_64' and 'i686'), and syslinux efi64 in a separate PKGBUILD like grub-efi-x86_64 (pkg marked as 'any') buildable only with x86_64 gcc OR 2. Keep syslinux bios and utils in syslinux-bios pkg (built as 'x86_64' and 'i686') and, efi64 and efi32 in one PKGBUILD (as one pkg syslinux-efi marked as 'any') but can be built only in x86_64 system. I proposed the 2nd option, where efi related stuff are in 1 pkg, and not in 2 separate pkgs. We need to follow either one of the ways. And syslinux-efi (tested efi64) 6.00 fails to work properly, this has been fixed in git (2 commits after 6.00 tag) https://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git/commit/?h=firmware&id=013ef7679a573b3b3454f914f3a7f865991db9f2 and https://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git/commit/?h=firmware&id=2a81889c7d680fbe51de63dbbeb4e8c290ec46fa . You need to include both in efi32 and efi64 compile. I am online in irc right now. We can discuss further there. Best Regards. Keshav Padram
