[syslinux] Load ELF 32bits LSB executable

[Stéphane ARQUER]

I made the test with another target machine and it works fine. The
booting is quite long (15-20s) but it's good.
Perhaps there is a bug with the eth card used on my previous machine.
I'll try to find out the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Stephane
