version 3.50 was a fairly large update, since then quite a few bugs have been
fixed:

------- Comment #1 From WayneSherman 2007-12-27 00:46:01 0000 ------- 
I copied the 3.52 ebuild, renamed it to 3.54, and put it into my local overlay.
 It seemed to install just fine, but I haven't tested it yet.

syslinux-3.54-nopie.patch

needed to make it compile on hardened (uclibc)

------- Comment #3 From Natanael Copa 2008-01-02 15:18:14 0000 ------- 
Older syslinux has a problem with 2.6.23 kernels. They trunkate the kernel
command line. See the comment to this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=16252da654800461e0e1c32697cb59f4cda15aa9

I hit this bug with syslinux-3.31 (current stable)

New Ebuild for version 3.60

compiled fine and works in amd64

------- Comment #5 From Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2008-03-14 17:24:21 0000 ------- 
syslinux-3.62 has been released. Renaming the ebuild in the tree to
syslinux-3.62.ebuild will make it build fine. I tested extlinux on amd64 and it
works.

3.62 builds on hardened (uclibc) with the patch from comment #2

------- Comment #7 From Michael Cramer 2008-04-20 07:56:14 0000 ------- 
syslinux-3.63 has been released. Renaming the 3.52 ebuild in the tree to
syslinux-3.63.ebuild will make it build fine. I tested it on my Gentoo Linux
LiveUSB and it works like a charm. please bump.

syslinux-3.70.ebuild will make it build fine. I tested extlinux on amd64 and it
works.

------- Comment #9 From Tony Vroon 2008-07-21 23:18:15 0000 ------- 
Looking at this now. Adding another patch to avoid pre-stripping binaries. 
Natanael, thank you for patching the build system.

------- Comment #10 From Tony Vroon 2008-07-21 23:21:05 0000 ------- 
A big thank you to all bug reporters & commenters, and my apologies for the
delay. I have just committed this to CVS, you should see it in the tree within
the next 2 hours.
