[syslinux] make issue with syslinux-5.01

[upen]

While I don't really understand what these options really are, I went ahead
and changed the variable like below,
NASMDEBUG = -g -F stabs

But what that done, I get another message,
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/syslinux-5.01/com32/sysdump'
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/syslinux-5.01/com32/lua/src'
