Have you looked at:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/prelink-cross/
As far as I'm aware, this version works properly for all of the expected
targets, including ARM.
If it doesn't work, someone should submit a patch to the maintainer (me) and
we'll get things resolved.
The Yocto prelinker contains both local (on-target) as well as cross-prelinking
support... (This is already integrated into oe-core)
