To be enable to run 'make spotless && make' on syslinux-4.0.4 or 4.0.5-pre7,
I had this patch accepted on ipxe tree
https://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/fe61f6de0dd5d39ac3de5e8e18742f9bd0aafad7
or syslinux fail to build with a gcc-4.4 modified to build hardened by
default, like alt-linux, gentoo and others have. Failure is
  [BUILD] bin/cpu.o
arch/i386/core/cpu.c: In function 'get_cpuinfo':
arch/i386/include/bits/cpu.h:79: error: can't find a register in class
'BREG' while reloading 'asm'

make[3]: *** [bin/cpu.o] Error 1

Bug may be considered non-critical unless 4.05 need to be patched a day and
so recompiled.
