[syslinux] Compile syslinux64.exe on ubuntu

[Tomas M]

I noticed that my patch is not needed on syslinux-4.06-pre11,
the line is already included there.

Unpacking the sources and running 'make' produces a lot of warnings
for network drivers, but compiles without any problems and both 32bit
and 64bit versions of syslinux.exe (syslinux64.exe) work OK in Windows
7

I am running old version of ubuntu

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=oneiric
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 11.10"
