To be noted: I am already working on this too. :-)

syslinux is a pain to use in cross-compilation, as it assumes headers and
libs from gnu-efi to be in /usr/blabla so it's a pain to make it work in
Buildroot.
That, plus a few other nits here and there...
But I have a few patches here to fix the issue for us. It may even be
possible to shape them for upstream...

As I am also working on this, if you just posted your changes (on the
list on in a public git tree), I can incorporate your changes I am
missing, and submit those.
