I am people, but I assume you meant the opposite: building a i686 LiveCD 
from a x86_64 host?

Ok, that is one reason for not using the build systems syslinux. But 
syslinux is still not really needed in the image and thus adds 3 Mb (?) 
without reason. Perhaps we could extract the relevant files from the rpm 
without installing it. Ok, someone would have to provide a patch for 
that ...

I thought that too, but syslinux-4.02-1.fc14.i686.rpm do require perl 
according to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=2109166 ???
