Current unionfs can handle hard link under nfs branch corrrectly, so we
don't need the "nfs link patch" anymore, nor static link.
About /proc soft link problem, I guess Shaya Potter's mmap patch is the
answer. But I didn't try it and it seems to be needed some fixing, for
example lseek at readdir.

BTW, I was glad to read your previous post and happy to know that my
patch helped at least one unionfs user.
