Where are you getting this information?
From what I can gather, syslinux 2.xx didn't support FAT32, which
limited the maximum filesystem size purely due to limitations of FAT16.
Syslinux 3.xx supports FAT32. We are building syslinux 4.xx in Yocto.
I'm fairly certain I've built syslinux images larger than 1GB without an
issue.
Can you provide a failure case?
