Thanx for your tip! I managed to understand how to use
dlsym with RTLD_NEXT to wrap simple calls.

But now suppose that I also want to catch calls from inside
the glibc :
eg. I define my own open which makes use of the glibc open
via the dlsym and RTLD_NEXT, then my application
uses fopen. This fopen I will not catch as it uses
__open with is a weak symbol of __libc_open. 
How do you suggest to catch that without relaying on it!

Up to now I do:
int __open (const char *file,int oflag,...) __attribute__ ((alias
("myopen")));
