Two issues:
_ nasm 2.11.6 will fail for Syslinux. nasm 2.11.5 used to work for 
Syslinux (generally speaking, not specifically for your particular 
case). Use nasm 2.11.7 or newer.

_ I doubt Syslinux can be successfully built in a "pure 64-bit" OS, but 
I could be wrong. I have always seen some form of "multilib" or 
"lib32-glibc" or similar as a dependency. If you succeed in building 
Syslinux in a "pure 64-bit" OS, please let us know.

Regards,
Ady.
