This patch includes the following changes:
- -fPIC added to the Makefile for compilation on x86_64 systems.
- No longer use be_search() to retrieve the entry that is to be
compared. Use be_entry_get_rw() instead.
You should probably use overlay_entry_get_ov() rather than be_entry_get_rw() from inside an overlay (AFAIR).
Okay, I'll make that change, thanks.
I notice that most overlays seem to use be_entry_get_rw(), and one (translucent) uses both. What is the reasoning to use one over the other?
Most of those overlays were written before overlay_entry_get_ov() was written. It's just a convenience function so you don't have to juggle bd_info pointers all the time.
