This problem seems to have been introduced by compiling syslinux with a
newer GCC version. There was a mail about this to the syslinux
Mailinglist containing a patch in August [1] which I somehow missed
(despite being subscribed…).
I've just built libgpl.c32 with the patch applied and based on the
`readelf` output I believe the patch fixes the problem. I'll do an
actual test soon and if everything checks out upload a fixed version.
Regards
Lukas
