I will upgrade the cdrtools package from 3.01a17 to 3.01a24 in the
coming days and see what I come up with. If I understand well, I should
check that even with "-eltorito-platform Mac" in the mkiosfs command,
isohybrid doesn't complain any more, right?

If that works I could suggest to Parick Volkerding to upgrade the cdrtools
Slackware package in Slackware-current (upcoming Slackware release).

About mixing with Syslinux 6.03-pre19 (or newer) as suggested in your
previous post... Yes, the scripts/receipts for using Syslinux 6.xx in
Slackware would need changes and I am very doubtful that Patrick
will accept to do that in next Slackware release. I could try this
tentatively just for testing if that helps, but then I would need help to
make the needed changes in the SlackBuild, as a drop-in replacement of
the source tarball won't certainly suffice. FYI the current build material
for syslinux in Slackware63-14.1 is here:

Not sure I understand well what you mean. The ISO image should be usable
on BIOS and EFI PCs as well as Macs

@ Thomas: of course isohdpfx.bin is shipped in Slackware (Patrick ships
vanilla software as much as possible), it's  in /usr/share/syslinux,
not /usr/lib/syslinux, so I just had to change the path.
