1) When using gnu-efi 4.0 with an application which was written
for gnu-efi 3.0, it may be required to set the `GNU_EFI_3_0_COMPAT` compile flag
this changes the default versions of some changed functions back to their prior
versions

   This currently includes the following functions:
   - ReallocatePool
     
     Inputs were re-ordered

   - CopyMem

     Source is no longer marked as constant
     
     CopyMemC is introduced as a helper function when using a constant source input

   - CompareGuid
    
      Function now returns BOOLEAN instead of INTN
      Return codes are now reversed

     **Will break at runtime - likely causing opposite output to expected**

2) Applications which haven't been updated in a while may also be missing the
required `.rodata` section which contains needed read-only data which will prevent
any binary missing this section from running correctly
