The binary pkg itself in arch repositories must be the oldest pkg on Arch repositories, compressed with xz instead of the default zst now.  Dated back in Dec2019, so it is going to turn 3 now.

This mailing list still exists but nobody has maintained syslinux upstream since
years. So, all you can do is try to convince packagers downstream to provide
build fixes. Good luck.
