[yocto] Build issue (syslinux ext2_fs.h error) in Edison 6.0.1

[Racine, Michel]

Hello there,

We are creating a distro for Intel N2600/NM10 using Edison 6.0.1 and BSP Cedar Trail 6.0.1. The build stops with a failure on syslinux (see below for the last few lines). I checked the Yocto bugzilla, and that seemed to have been an issue in the past, but I'm not sure how to get the fix or work around it.

What's the best way forward?

Thanks and regards,
