Thanks for the tip, but for now I'll keep the "replace" approach for now 
since I have to rebuild libobjc from time to time (after adding another 
fprints), it is convenient enough for me. If it is not to much work for 
you, I would appreciate a solution which supports libobjc_debug too, but 
again this is not top priority for me, I can live without it.

greetings, Lars
