The trail led me to discover I'd omitted a piece of information that I didn't know was relevant: the code I'm trying to patch is in the kernel. It turns out the kernel uses a dedicated patching mechanism, mostly unrelated to what everything else uses. On the brighter side, I now know what to look into.
