Dunno. It looks like a question of makefile portability.
mk/com32.mk is already using constructs I dimly recall as non-working
on Sun or HP boxes (>10yrs ago, no details)

include $(MAKEDIR)/syslinux.mk
GCCOPT := $(call gcc_ok,-std=gnu99,)
GCCOPT += $(call gcc_ok,-m32,)

OTOH, various bashisms arent available:
[ -d /var/lib/tftpboot ] && echo /var/lib/tftpboot
$(shell -vx ...)
