[syslinux] How to make isolinux.bin only?

[Tomas M]

Actually I can just run 'make' and everything makes. But that takes
too much time. My intention is following:

1) download syslinux sources tarbal
2) extract them
3) apply my tiny patch to few files for isolinux
4) run a command which recompiles just isolinux.bin
5) copy newly created isolinux.bin to my destination and cleanup
everything (remove entire syslinux sources)

For my purposes, I use simply 'make' or 'make -j 4' ... but it is
several minutes until it recompiles entire syslinux tree. I'm
searching for a command which will just recompile the isolinux.bin
(perhaps including the other parts it depends on), to make it much
quicker.


Thank you
Tomas M
