[syslinux] Manually installing syslinux?

[Nick Bartos]

If the older system's glibc was compiled with the oldest compatible kernel
set to 2.4.20, and the new system has glibc compiled with the oldest
compatible kernel set to 2.4.26, then the new static binary will not run
on the old system.

I would like to be able to use new kernel features as they come out, and
basically I want something that I know will work in the future reguardless
of what I feel like changing in the new versions.
