That would be a good guess!

There was no major syslinux version bump but it got reuploaded after a
gcc default version change, which triggered some undesired changes:
mini.iso not booting.

For reference:

Stretch Alpha 2 is also affected, but I didn't manage to find time to
document that as an errata.

Mraw,
