I've been chasing down a problem with prelinking and PowerPC. Even though the
prelinker runs, it ignores most of the binaries on the system as they fail a
basic sanity check looking for TEXTREL.
It appears most of the executables on qemuppc machine are linked without pic,
but I'm not sure if this indicates a problem with the compiler, configuration or
something else.
If we can fix this, and get everything (within reason) building with pic, the
prelinker will start to prelink PPC binaries and -should- improve load performance.
