I wrote this to do that, unfortunely it wasn't enough for my program
(a program compiled with the Portland Groups' fortran compiler) but
maybe it is for others.

Usage is something like LD_PRELOAD=libxstat.so ./myoldlibcprogram.

;;; xstat.s
;;;
;;; cc -c xstat.s
;;; ld -shared -soname libxstat.so.0 -o libxstat.so xstat.o -lc
