That one was also a problem that was caused by a different binutils
version, but I managed to solve it as well :) . Will upload a new
version shortly.

[still wondering why the BTS ate my last message…]

I've made some progress: If I discard the .note.gnu.property section
(which was not added since before binutils 2.31.1-2) I'm able to build
the package again. I've attached a patch to the linker scripts for
reference.

Unfortunately my tests shows that with this new build the efi binary no
longer works (at least when testing tianocore).  I have not yet
determined if this is also related to binutils and I suspect this is
actually a different issue. I'll keep you posted.

Description: Strip the .note.gnu.property section for the mbr. This section is
 added since binutils Debian version 2.31.1-2 and causes mbr.bin to grow in
 size beyond what can fit into the master boot record.

Hi,

the problem started with the upgrade from binutils 2.31.1-1 to
2.31.1-2. If I download the following 4 packages and install them, I
can build syslinux just fine:
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20180726T092202Z/pool/main/b/binutils/binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu_2.31.1-1_amd64.deb

Matthias: As the binutils maintainer, can you provide any help? I don't
really know how to proceed… and since this was broken by a Debian
revision, it's probably not an upstream problem? Thanks!

Control: tags -1 + confirmed

Hi Santiago,

I can confirm the build failures. The same error also happens when
building syslinux on buster from upstream's git repository.

I'll try to find out which dependency change caused the size of mbr.bin
to grow and will then probably need to work with upstream to get this
fixed.

Thanks for your report
Lukas
