[syslinux] Compile syslinux64.exe on ubuntu

[Tomas M]

Hello,
I wanted to recompile syslinux64.exe (windows 64bit binary) on ubuntu.
The default ./find-mingw64.sh script failed to locate mingw64 on
ubuntu, even after

   root at htpc:~# apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64

So I had to patch the script to let it find mingw64 on ubuntu as well.
Patch is below, please apply to syslinux sources:
