PATCH v2 1/1 syslinux: add support for host-install

From: "Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)" <[email protected]>

This makes it possible to build the syslinux/extlinux installer, so a bootable USB drive, CompactFlash or SD card can be created by a user script.

Sorry, too much work. The isohybrid installer requires uuid.h in 4.05.
The current syslinux mk file builds everything, not just the pxelinux.bin and isolinux.bin that we really want, so you would need to depend on util-linux's libuuid. However, syslinux is compiled with HOST_CC instead of TARGET_CC, so you don't get access to libuuid... It's all kind of messy and difficult to understand, and probably requires patching syslinux's Makefile to support proper cross-compiling to start with.

Regards,
Arnout
