Name        : syslinux
Product     : Fedora 23
Version     : 6.03
Release     : 6.fc23
URL         : http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/The_Syslinux_Project
Summary     : Simple kernel loader which boots from a FAT filesystem
Description :
SYSLINUX is a suite of bootloaders, currently supporting DOS FAT
filesystems, Linux ext2/ext3 filesystems (EXTLINUX), PXE network boots
(PXELINUX), or ISO 9660 CD-ROMs (ISOLINUX).  It also includes a tool,
MEMDISK, which loads legacy operating systems from these media.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update includes a couple of patches from Sylvain Gault which fix syslinux
when built with GCC 5. The previous F23 builds with GCC 5 were more or less
entirely broken. This looks like it should fix all the listed bugs.
