That doesn't work (because it seems our /emul/linux path handling is too 
smart)

with:

% ls -l /emul/linux/dev/ptmx
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  6 Jul 22 16:58 /emul/linux/dev/ptmx -> foobar

you still get:

  1977 MATLAB   CALL  open(0x4827d96c,0x48297184)
  1977 MATLAB   NAMI  "/emul/linux/dev/ptmx"
  1977 MATLAB   NAMI  "/dev/ptmx"
  1977 MATLAB   NAMI  "/dev/ptyp8"
  1977 MATLAB   RET   open 3
