Instead of make install to the system, just modify the script file to point to this newly build sfdisk so that it does not change other tools; which are:
vmuser@ubuntu:~/Temp/8dv-android-beta-mybuilt$ diff fsl-sdcard-partition.sh fsl-sdcard-partition-mod.sh

vmuser@ubuntu:~/Temp/8dv-android-beta-mybuilt$
Also, when doing dd of the raw system image, I add the option “bs=4096”, which could greatly increase the speed to program the SD card image, especially run on vmimage.
Remember to install this package to get “simg2img” being used in the script file.
$ sudo apt-get install android-tools-fsutils
