We have a working syslinux for amd64, it's just only available in
sid and not in sarge. The reason that it's only in sid is that
the maintainer of the packages didn't fix it yet.
We are actually using a the patched version that is in sid to
make the debian-installer images.
There is an open bug about this for ages:
