This is what I meant. The problem seems to be related to "some
change introduced _after_ 5.02-pre3". By "narrow down", I meant it
regarding which version(s) of Syslinux to test (so to look up the
issue over a narrower set of commits).
(Yes, it was already clear that ifcpu was not really the main issue.)
I'm not saying that there is necessarily a bug in Syslinux. Maybe
5.10-pre2 is OK, but just "less tolerant"; I don't know. Whichever
the case, the issue seems to be somehow related to some commit
_after_ 5.02-pre3 (not just "on the user's side"), and this is the
kind of observation I was looking for with my previous suggestion. If
this was already clear before my suggestion, I apologize for wasting
anyone's time.
