I have found the cause of this error.
The PIE compile option breaks syslinux. Found this somewhere on a 
mailinglist.
Disabling this options and it builds again.

Running into an other problem though.
Have a iso build now with VMWare drivers included but when I boot it in 
VMWare I get the message that it can't find it's own CDRom.
Somewhere in 2.6.20 or 2.6.21 the kernel developers ditched the old IDE 
drivers and all disks are now /dev/sdXX. Could this be the reason that 
the scripts fail to find the CDRom?
