Bug 15898

Hello,

Hopefully I am just missing something in my buildroot's menuconfig settings but I can't figure out what it could be. If this is the case then it might be a bug since I suspect the menuconfig should auto-select whatever I'm missing based on the settings I chose.

Some of the settings currently set include:
BR2_TARGET_SYSLINUX=y
BR2_TARGET_SYSLINUX_EFI=y

The rest with "SYSLINUX" are =n.

Everything compiles fine. I end up with the following syslinux file after the build finishes:
output/images/syslinux/syslinux.efi

It is 129717 bytes. 

I this should be the 64-bit version since I also have the following set:
BR2_ARCH=x86_64

However, this file does not boot.

I know that this file is to blame and nothing else because I can simply do the following to boot successfully:
- extract the original syslinux compressed file (dl/syslinux/syslinux-6.03.tar.xz), which contains a copy of the syslinux.efi file that they build (and buildroot deletes during the build process)
- replace the syslinux.efi built by buildroot with the one extracted from the compressed archive (i.e. syslinux-6.03/efi64/efi/syslinux.efi)
- this syslinux.efi boots fine, with no other changes made

Note: The one provided from the original compressed archive is 199952 bytes.

This leads me to believe that the syslinux.efi built by buildroot is missing something, since it fails to boot and it's about 35% smaller than the original provided by the compressed archive.

Thanks
