The attached patch I used for the RH9 and EL3 build, because the

 	#define COM32_ARGS 6

was not working.

ld -m elf_i386 -T ../../com32/lib/com32.ld -o chain.elf chain.o ../../com32/libutil/libutil_com.a ../../com32/lib/libcom32.a /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/libgcc.a
../../com32/lib/libcom32.a(entry.o)(.init+0x23): In function `_start':
sys/entry.S:56: undefined reference to `COM32_ARGS'
make[2]: *** [chain.elf] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/dar/build/syslinux-3.72/com32/modules'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/dar/build/syslinux-3.72/com32'
make: *** [install] Error 2

I bet the patch is not the right way to do it though :)
