There would be no need to replace it if the stdio implementation in
Solaris would be sane, however since it sucks a faster, non-sucking
replacement would be cool.

No, they won't malfunction. All AST stdio symbols have an '_ast_'
prefix in their ELF name, for example fopen() is listed as _ast_fopen
