Why do you want the Amigix programs to be able to call a patched exec.library?
I thought the idea was to provide an environment for programs to run in that
has UNIX semantics. So your program is not gonna be making AmigaDOS calls in
any case.

Just let them use the regular exec.library long enough to open unix.library.
Unix.library will have Unix system calls and semantics. They should never
reference exec.library again, unless they need to go below unix.library.

In fact, you shouldn't be patching *any* libraries, since they're not relevant
to the Amigix environment, but AmigaOS software will still need to access
them...
