It's not a binutils problem, or at least not *only* a binutils problem…
it appears to have been fixed:  I can still reproduce the original
"fails to build from source" if I re-compile the old version
without the patch (using the same version for all the build
dependencies).  The new syslinux version from git builds fine without
the patch.
