Hmm, perhaps you're the first person who's actually tried to use prelink on

Nope, guess not:

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.
Drat. Prelink would be nice to help speed up loads on my slow old
Miata.
I'll try prelink the individual libs one by one to see where it
starts to break ls/gtar/etc. And btw, does Debian have debug
packages? Binaries installed by debian are stripped, is there any way
to recover the stripped information? (Eg ala RPM's -debuginfo
packages).
