The technique I was thinking of here is the --wrap option in the
ld linker [1] (See the bottom of the page). I use this in my
microcontroller programming to override malloc and friends for
devices that have discontinuous memory and no MMU.
I tried this on my Linux desktop, and while everything compiled
and linked without errors, it resulted in a segmentation fault at
runtime. But where I have failed, others may succeed. I tested
with LDC and GDC, but not DMD.
