Does this suffices?

tasi@birba:~$ cat /tmp/fail.c
#include <stdio.h>
size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream){
	return 0;
}
int ferror(FILE *stream){
	return 1;
}
tassi@birba:~$ cat /tmp/read.c 
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
	FILE* f = fopen("/tmp/read.c","r");
	char buf[10];
	printf("%d\n", fread(buf,1,10,f));
	printf("%d\n", ferror(f));
	return 0;
}
