[syslinux] Embedding com32 modules and ldlinux.sys into one file

Good day, Tal.
Perhaps if you describe a little bit more about the rationale behind
this single-file requirement, someone might be able to make an
alternative suggestion that you haven't thought of.
The BIOS- and disk-based Syslinux bootstrapping actually often has a
filesystem-specific piece of code that lives in the filesystem's
meta-data, as well as the primary file and COMBOOT32 modules that you
are thinking of. Because of that first piece, it's not really possible
to have this kind of Syslinux as a single file.
But if you were to share a few more details, perhaps you're thinking of
a PXE environment or a CD environment or a new filesystem or...? Are
you able to describe the sequence of boot-up events that occur before
the point you are thinking of?
Yes, you can print debug-output from custom builds.
