Created attachment 844867 [details]
build.log.xz

build log and emerge --info (compressed because it exceeds attachment limit, use 'xzless' to read it)

It's an optional command; the build system ignores the failure if missing.

    sys-boot/syslinux: pass UPX=false to make
    
    When building with bios support, Syslinux attempts to call upx. However,
    it is not a necessary build step and the build will just continue if it
    fails. This commit passes UPX=false to make when built with bios support
    to silence the command not found QA warnings.
