Hi, Bruce!

I thought about a regex, but the aliases require a full function
signature and the original, narrow context does not provide a function
signature.  If it was just alias XXXalloc as __linux_XXXalloc, it
would be more straight forward.  If there's a convenient way to add
the other information, I'm eager to learn.

Thanks, David
