Re: prelink cron script

Wichert,
    Well on ppc, things are a little messy. Jakub discovered
a glitch in binutils. On ppc, the value for *r_offset is set to 
unpredictable non-zero value each link. This makes it impossible
to unprelink binaries back to their original state since the
*r_offset value is set to a different (but valid) value. This bug
was fixed in binutils 2.13.90.0.5. Now binutils will use zero for
*r_offset like all the other arches and one can unprelink such
binaries to the identical copy. 
    Thus on ppc, while current sid can be prelinked and unprelinked,
the chksums won't be identical. Since all of sid is slated to be
rebuilt for each arch when we switch to gcc 3.2.1 and the current
binutils resolves the problem, it will be a non-issue on ppc.
