People are ignoring the fact that this has absolutely nothing to do with
the kernel.

Go change yer /bin/bash (or /lib/libc.so.*, if you want perror to output
the "custom" core dump etc. messages for all programs)...

Even if you were talking about changing the messages that the kernel logs
via printk(), nothing is stopping you from editing the kernel source and
recompiling.
