Perhaps “ld -r --wrap” or “objcopy --redefine-sym”?

I assumed that this would be visible in the DSOs as well, but this does 
not seem to be the case.  So I guess it's just a matter of choosing 
what's most convenient.  If sprinkling the sources with “__” prefixes as 
required is considered acceptable, I shouldn't complain about it.
