Hi Khem,
Per your suggestion, I installed gcc-multilib and was able to build
syslinux and core-image-minimal. Wonderful!
Thank you for having a look at this problem and finding the fix.
May I suggest that the Ubuntu/Debian section in Yocto Quick Start
documentation
(https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html)
be updated with this new information? Should I file a bug report to help
this happen?
Best regards,
Markus

Confirmed that 'core-image-minimal' can be successfully built under an lxc

Filed bug 5440 on Yocto Bugzilla.

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
