You could be right at that.
Yes, it means I would be wrong about localboot being an external module.

In the directory with syslinux source tree where I did `make`

 $ find . -name localboot.c32
 ./efi64/com32/samples/localboot.c32
 ./efi32/com32/samples/localboot.c32
 ./bios/com32/samples/localboot.c32

Thing I'm try to say: there are localboot.c32 modules being build.
