For the benefit of others who arrived at this thread via search I am

Apparently, there is no 1GB limitation with syslinux. The problem was
due to mkdosfs tool in poky edison branch. The complete discussions
about this can be found in the (long) comments section of this bug.

I would like to thank Darren for helping me in debugging this problem.
