[syslinux] [PATCH 1/1] CORE/writedec: Fix overflow and redeclaration

[Gene Cumm]

From: Gene Cumm <gene.cumm at gmail.com>

CORE/writedec: Fix overflow and redeclaration; If EDX is greater than
or equal to 10, div can cause an overflow.  Comment out declaration of
writechr.

Signed-off-by: Gene Cumm <gene.cumm at gmail.com>

Against current head.

hpa: If there's a preferred way to do what this function provides, let
me know.  Was the writechr in there on purpose to prevent the use of
this function?
