Yeah most will have the old versions of stuff which worked since the hack
was created.

It's those few bug reporters which noticed the missing le32 definition
that have me scratching my head now. If the LIBCAP_BROKEN was always
failing (==1), how did it fix things for them? simply re-ordering the
include into compat?

Meh. Oh well, it works for now. We can ignore until some bright day when
the erase button is pressed a few times :)
