[syslinux] EFI: HP + syslinux = crash [ brown paper bag update ]

 The text
   GCC supports the x86-64 architecture implemented by the AMD64 processor
   (amd64-*-* is an alias for x86_64-*-*) on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and
  
 NetBSD. On GNU/Linux the default is a bi-arch compiler which
 is able to  generate both 64-bit x86-64 and 32-bit x86 code (via the -m32 switch).
 is from https://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#x86-64-x-x
 
 Would adding '-m32' help against the smell of an optimizer/stripper bug?  ;-)

I do not think so.
-m32 parameter is there to compile 32 bits objects on a compiler configured to compile 64 bits objects by default.
Then the -m32 surelly is already used when compiling the 32 bit version of Syslinux when using the 64bit GCC

Best,
