syslinux: remove LDFLAGS manipulation

2016-02-04T23:35:26+00:00

syslinux appears to be using gcc to link instead of LD directly now, so we can
remove the manipulation of LDFLAGS.

syslinux: Set LD to avoid using build host ld

2016-01-22T23:42:55+00:00

base ld is used during link phase and since its x86 so it
works mostly, however it can cause problems depending upon
build host. During cross build we should use cross linker
Fixes errors e.g.

ld -shared -m elf_i386 --hash-style=gnu -T

syslinux: Dont bypass gcc driver for dependency generation options

2015-09-21T14:39:36+00:00

GCC docs also do not recommend using -Wp instead pass the option via gcc
driver and let it process it as needed

This also helps in making it work with clang as well

gnu-efi, syslinux: Support gcc < 4.7

2015-09-21T14:39:36+00:00

This helps compiling the code with older gcc especially on older build
hosts, additionally clang advertizes itself as gcc 4.2.1 so it helps
compiling dependent modues using clang as well

syslinux: add syslinux-nomtools to PACKAGES

2015-04-15T13:18:54+00:00

The default installed syslinux depends on mtools, we install
syslinux-nomtools too, which has the ext2/3/4 support.

syslinux: support ext2/3/4 device

2015-02-15T08:11:19+00:00

* Support ext2/3/4 deivce.
* The open_ext2_fs() checks whether it is an ext2/3/4 device,
  do the ext2/3/4 installation (install_to_ext2()) if yes, otherwise go
  on to the fat/ntfs.
* The ext2/3/4 support doesn't require root privileges since it doesn't need
  mount (but write permission is required).

Next:
* Get rid of fat filesystem from the boot image.

These patches have been sent to upstream, we may adjust them (maybe put
the extX support to syslinux-mtools), I will go on working with the
upstream.
