Just an attempt to "keep it all together" (Nigel Croxon doesn't seem to 
be "connecting" the following first 2 items):

_ "syslinux fails to build: multiple definition of `memset'", from 
Joakim Tjernlund,
 https://sf.net/p/gnu-efi/bugs/16/ 

_ "jmp_buf definition violates C standard", from hpa,
 https://sf.net/p/gnu-efi/bugs/17/ 


(and one additional item that _maybe_ has some kind of influence?...)
_ "Add -ffreestanding to compiler flags", from David Woodhouse 
 https://www.syslinux.org/archives/2018-August/026159.html

Ady.
