Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge syslinux (v.3.52) 2. notice the missing folder /usr/share/syslinux 3. find the file in /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin
Darn, supposedly this was fixed in bug 233177. I guess that user was on ~arch; doesn't help that latest stable is over a year old. Okay, I'll guess I'll have to revert the v1.14 commit.
Fixed in CVS.
