Here is probably a misunderstanding of you what the
--wrap switch does. PLEASE read the ld doc about this switch.

And as I said already, try at first the example from the
ld docs (which is in that case a sample for wrapping
the malloc function) and then adapt or extent it to all the
other functions you want to wrap.

In general again. If you use the --wrap option and you
provide in your soures the correct wrap-function you have
not to change anything in the libraries, this is done
automatically by the linker. That means again, you have
NOT to do any #define malloc(x) mymallox(x) or something like
this.


If all of this does not help you (or you don't understand),
please post a short example of code with an as detailed as
possible description what you want to get and I will try if 
I can get you more specific help.
