(Get the code!)
Stéphane,
I've always been uncomfortable with using per-file bind mounts instead of symlinks for this. Mounts carry a small but real penalty in the kernel; we don't want the kernel to be using memory tracking thousands of mounts on the phone!
Why do you prefer bind mounts instead of symlinks here? I can't see any advantage to this, and while it wouldn't solve the /etc/localtime case, it would help other uses where the handling tools know how to read through symlinks.
