[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] boot/syslinux: disable syslinux legacy-BIOS for toolchains affected by binutils bug 19615

[Romain Naour]

Since [1] syslinux is build with the target toolchain in order to
properly build with gnu-efi package.
But toolchains built with binutils 2.26 break the syslinux legacy-BIOS
build as reported [2].

Thanks to Beno?t Allard for the investigation and the link to the
binutils bug [3].

I take it that our internal 2.26.1 binutils isn't affected by this?
