Rather than syslinux-6.03.tar.xz with 75 patches, including this patch of yours - to produce a bootable system,

git snapshot - http://repo.or.cz/w/syslinux.git/snapshot/5186539.tar.gz - i.e. syslinux-5186539.tar.gz 
produces a bootable system even without this patch of yours, *but* not out-of-the-box.

Now comes the interesting part,
isolinux-debug.bin must be engaged, vulgaris isolinux.bin won't do.

Also using debug facility will break the ISOLINUX bootability:
sed -i '3 s/#//' mk/devel.mk
sed -i '4 s/# //' mk/devel.mk
sed -i '5 s/^/#/' mk/devel.mk


No matter what, the EXTLINUX is broken.
