+Subject: [PATCH 1/9] linux/syslinux: support ext2/3/4 device
+
+* Support ext2/3/4 deivce.
+* The open_ext2_fs() checks whether it is an ext2/3/4 device,
+  do the ext2/3/4 installation (install_to_ext2()) if yes, otherwise go
+  on to the fat/ntfs.
+* The ext2/3/4 support doesn't require root privileges since it doesn't need
+  mount (but write permission is required).

+
+* The write_to_ext() write file to the extX device, and handle the boot
+  sector.
+* The syslinuxext.c is used for placing the code which are used by
+  extlinux and syslinux (which is syslinux_patch_bootsect()).

+cp: cannot create directory `tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/share/
+syslinux/com32/include/gplinclude': No such file or directory
+make[4]: *** [install] Error 1
+make[3]: *** [gpllib] Error 2
+[snip]
+
+This is a potential issue. In ${S}/com32/gpllib/Makefile file,
+install target wants to copy $(SRC)/../gplinclude to
+$(INSTALLROOT)$(COM32DIR)/include/ directory, but in ${S}/com32/lib/Makefile
+file, the install target will remove $(INSTALLROOT)$(COM32DIR)/include
+directory. We need to do com32/lib first.
+
+The patch make com32/gpllib depends on com32/lib to fix this issue.
