I wrote about grub failure a year or so ago: grub 2.0 miserably failed to boot LFS-7.5 on SuperMicro X7SPA-H motherboard. On grub mail list folks were blaming mobo's BIOS, but old grub 0.99 was able to boot it just fine.

As Armin suggested, I've tried nasm-2.11.05 and syslinux build finished without any errors. Is a build failure related to nasm-2.11.06 a reason to consider a different NASM version for the book release? I can use whatever I need in my build, but other might also face similar problems...
