No. The symbols coming from glibc would be shadowed by the symbols in
other libraries.

Again, no. LD_PRELOAD should not be used for anything unless
absolutely necessary. And for this situation I don't understand where
you want to use it. If a program is written with STREAMS in mind you
cannot compile it some way and then magically add the STREAMS library
at runtime.
