Thank you all for your valuable comments.

I will work on glibc to get this feature.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Hari

True. And, the declarative language glibc uses doesn't look that
complicated to me. However, you'd really have to vendor your own glibc
to make this work, since they are compiled to some binary
representation when glibc is built. That's probably prohibitively
complicated to manage.
