      During a refactor of syslinux support in ReaR upstream, I found out that the hdt.c32 syslinux module cannot be loaded due to a missing symbol in libgpl.c32:

      Undef symbol FAIL: exp
Failed to load libgpl.c32
Failed to load COM32 file hdt.c32

      The attached screenshot is from a Fedora Rawhide machine but I've confirmed the issue on RHEL 9 and 10 as well. I plan to test RHEL 8 tomorrow.
