accidentally I was able to reproduce it. So it seems that syslinux depends on compiler supporting 32bit+64bit mix and it has probes to enquire the compiler for supporting the above. Now if you have standard install of ubuntu you do not have gcc-multilib installed and hence the problem. So, I would say the fix is to install gcc-multilib package on debian-like systems and something similar for other distros sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib and then clean build syslinux-native should get you going _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
