Hi there,
I've noticed a bug in 2.0.27's README: The README says that you need gcc 2.6.3 or newer. In fact, 2.0.27 does not compile with 2.6.3 w/o modifications: It doesn't understand pentium optimizations (-malign-*=2) and the compilation fails in include/fddidevice.h on "__attribute__ ((packed))". The most simple fix is attached.
