I see that the builds were running with qemux85-64 MACHINE, shouldn't
TARGET_ARCH be set to x86-64 then? There's a check that builds
syslinux(-native) for x86 archs only since it's not buildable for
anything else. Same for HDDIMG.

One more question, the assert raised when comparing parted's output is
caused by different locale. Do you think it would be ok to just enforce
LC_ALL=C when running commands under wic?
