You can override mmap() in wine by just changing all
the places it's called.  (Having control over the source is
a wonderful thing.)  But if you want mmap to behave
truly differently, you'd probably need to change the
kernel.

I seem to recall somebody was working on a linux
kernel module for wine that just dealt with
program loading, but I can't recall who.
Perhaps he'll surface and comment on this.
