The problem with this is that you are going to run into the problem I
reported at:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2017-July/195927.html, i.e
the --no-dynamic-linker option doesn't exist in old binutils versions,
and will therefore cause a build failure.

BTW Arnout, you should not expect any feedback from Benoît, he has left
his previous employer, and explicitly removed himself from the syslinux
developer:
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/DEVELOPERS?id=74a1e8f9f220c8fb95abe1de67ee5441b7c449e7.
He will most likely not even receive your e-mail.

Therefore, we are on our own to figure out this one :)
