It's possible to use la_symbind to alter some symbol bindings.  Where
the replacement symbol address comes from does not matter.

You may have to use dlmopen, to inject the shared object into the main
namespace, not the auditor namespace.  You probably have to open the
shared object before the la_symbind callback happens.

Be sure to use a recent glibc versions (2.34 and later) because many
bugs in auditor support have been fixed.

Thanks,
Florian
