Hrm, not here.

Have created a datastruct/byteorder.h instead to stay away from
this dependency.

Same here with make 3.80. 3.79 version does it just fine.
Any idea why that bogus behaviour gets triggered in make 3.80 is welcome.

Yes, the first drive in a hpt37x set gets mapped at sector 0, not 10.
Firts partition should start at a later sector than one though.
Fix is in my code base already and has been tested successfully.

All changes vailable in 1.0.0-rc3 later this week...
