We discussed this earlier today and I also did a bit or research.  The
Galaxy S was released with Android 2.1 originally, and never in fact was
upgraded to ICS.

I'm pretty sure based upon your description that the problem is that
Samsung shipped the entire RILD daemon as a binary blob as that's the
way things were done back then.

What we need to do next is figure out whether or not it's possible to
build RILD using the AOSP bits.  If it isn't, then unfortunately a fix
may prove to be rather difficult.

Please see further comments below.

Based upon your description, I would try setting
BOARD_USES_LIBSECRIL_STUB to true, and removing the /bin/rild line from
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES.

As mentioned above, there's no guarantee that this will work, but it's
worth trying.
