I asked Kees Cook on IRC about prelink and this was his answer: < kees> prelink isn't really very useful on modern systems. < kees> the load-time speed was solved with the gnu-hash symbols stuff about 2 years ago, and the random-ordering is done already with kernel mmap ASLR < kees> so, from my perspective, prelink is harmful.
