[syslinux] make issue with syslinux-5.01

[upen]

If I go ahead and make the NASMOPT = -O3 then I get below error message

make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/syslinux-5.01/com32/chain'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/syslinux-5.01/com32'
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/syslinux-5.01/lzo'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

        -DHEXDATE="0x516f5326" \
        -l ldlinux.lsr -o ldlinux.o -MP -MD .ldlinux.o.d ldlinux.asm
nasm: fatal: unrecognized debug format `dwarf' for output format `elf'
type `nasm -h' for help
make[1]: *** [ldlinux.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/syslinux-5.01/core'
make: *** [all] Error 2

ADDITIONAL information:
nasm -f elf -y

valid debug formats for 'elf' output format are ('*' denotes default):
  * stabs     ELF32 (i386) stabs debug format for Linux
