That's exactly what I'm doing. Unfortunately, ldd spits the dummy. I think
I'll be using code based on objcopy for modification of symbol names and
dependent libraries.

Not as well as I'd like. It follows the structure of Daryll Strauss'es code
OK, but when glide is initialising, after getting the number of cards, it
tries to pass a structure for some I/O which has some garbage values in it. I
don't know if the structure is packed differently or what. Most frustrating.
If I can beat this shim into shape, then we can have hardware accelerated
OpenGL while I tinker with the device driver. Grrr. Have a Voodoo 1 myself. Am
also waiting for someone else to do the mtrr code for AMD K6-2s.
