Including 'detect_cpu' in libcom32.a ?
Okay, if one installs syslinux, the declaration for 'detect_cpu'
is in com32/include/cpuid.h, but the actual function code isn't
available in libcom32.a. It's only available as source down in
the com32/modules/ directory, and not actually installed anywhere.

Shouldn't 'detect_cpu' be included in libcom32.a?

Erwan: I would have to get you to do this, since it would mean changing
the license (trying to keep libcom32 under the BSD/MIT licenses), and
you have them under your own copyright (as opposed to mine), which means
I can't do this change.

Please find attached the patch to changing the license to MIT on modules
I did contribute in com32/modules/.
