No need to 'make' anything :). Search the Syslinux wiki for "Library 
modules". I'm not saying it will solve every single problem you might 
have with version 6.02, but it will give you a generic answer to your 
question.

Regarding /tftpboot/ and mixing BIOS and EFI files, this ML has some 
prior threads about the same topic already. Unfortunately, there is 
no easy way to effectively search the ML and find what you might be 
looking for, so you might need to manually go through the mailing 
list archives.
