When building with glibc 2.23+, the "major", "minor" and "makedev"
functions are defined in "sys/sysmacros.h". The patch
"extlinux: pull in sys/sysmacros.h for major/minor/makedev",
applied to Syslinux during 2016Apr, should help. Please note that not
only Syslinux is affected by this change in glibc.

+
+These functions are defined in sys/sysmacros.h, so add the include to
+main.c.  This is already handled correctly in mountinfo.c.  Otherwise
+we get build failures like:
+
+main.o: In function 'find_device_sysfs':
+extlinux/main.c:1131: undefined reference to 'minor'
