Yes, I have done that - please see another mail containing the patch.

I tested the patch with the following:

* ls from Fileutils 4.1, run as 'ls --color=tty';

* the demo httpgetn.c from libsocket, modified to use read() and write()
instead of recv() and send() respectively;

* the test program for /dev/zero and /dev/full support -
tests/libc/fsext/tzero.c;

* gdb 5.1.1 built with a dbgcom.c that was compiled with DEBUG_DBGCOM_FILES
defined, running tests/libc/posix/unistd/append.c.

I believe this covers the following FSEXT hooks, in order (with the first
program that tests the hook in brackets):

    _write (ls)
    write (libsocket)
    _read (libsocket)
    fstat (tzero)
    lstat (tzero)
    _open (tzero)
    _creat (tzero)
    _close (tzero)
    select (tzero)
    link (tzero, ignores arguments)
    remove (tzero, ignores arguments)
    lseek (tzero, ignores arguments)
    _creat_new (append, running under gdb)

These have not been covered:

    __internal_readlink
    fchown
    llseek
    symlink

The /dev/zero and /dev/full devices should should fchown and llseek, so I will
look at their handling, when I add support.

Here is the output from the specially-built gdb:
