Hi guys,
I've got a latest LFS SVN-20150208 built, but instead of grub I have
to use syslinux-6.03. I'm building a pure 64-bit system, so I can't
use 32-bit ELF extlinux provided in the package.
I'm not sure what you are talking about. We build GRUB all the time in LFS and
that has not given me any problems on a 64-bit system. We have not had reports
of grub problems in years.
Unfortunately building extlinux installer failed with NASM in BLFS
Version 2015-02-07, however I was able to build it successfully with
old BLFS-7.5 setup.
Nasm old version was 2.11.03 and the new one is 2.11.06 with quite a
lot of differences...

When programs like nasm are updated, they sometimes make it more restrictive.
It's been a long time since I did any significant assembly work, but -f elf says
to output an elf32 file. I wouldn't think that would be appropriate on a 64-bit
system.
-Ox means Multipass optimization, but that seems a contradiction for an assembly
program.
