Re: [PATCH 2/3] lazily read note section data


Tom> In the next patch, we'll set the BFD_DECOMPRESS flag, so that BFD will
Tom> know to decompress compressed sections.

This patch needed an update due to Kai's patch to BFD to make PE handle
compressed debug sections.

Here's the update.

Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 16.
I also sent the patch series to Kai for testing on Windows, and he
reported that it was ok.

	* osabi.c (check_note): Add 'sectsize' argument.  Read
	section data.
	(generic_elf_osabi_sniff_abi_tag_sections): Don't read
	section data.  Update for check_note change.
	* xcoffread.c (xcoff_initial_scan): Use
	bfd_get_full_section_contents.
