Hmm, perhaps you're the first person who's actually tried to use prelink on alpha? Nope, guess not: http://bugs.debian.org/223047 http://bugs.debian.org/276013 For my part, attempting to run "prelink -a" gives me an immediate segfault, and this is in a pristine sarge chroot with nothing significant installed at all. Since prelink has already been dropped from sparc recently due to critical breakage, it doesn't surprise me if the same is true on alpha. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
