Yes indeed, somewhere on the mailinglists of syslinux I found a message 
from the syslinux developers that they didn't think that the pie option 
would be used to compile there stuff, so they didn't take this into 
account. At least that is what I remember from it. Have to look it up 
again to be sure.
Anyway, disabling the hardened compile options completly fixed it for me.

I know that it is a tough job. But the problem is that the old ifconfig 
commands are not capable of all the things that iproute2 can do for you.
And especially for 2.6 kernels, iproute2 is much better. I will see if I 
can start creating something, but it will take some time before it is a 
complete set.
For now I have fwbuilder scripts and they work very well for me.
