I tested and yes the problem also occurs with older and non
processor-optimized versions of libc6.

Without libsafe I was indeed able to prelink ooffice.

Thank you for finding the real problem, and sorry for the bogus bug
report !

> Prelinking OpenOffice.org binaries... /usr/sbin/prelink: /lib/i686/libc-2.3.2.so has dependency cycle

Still this message is misleading: I don't see the so called "cycle"
introduced by libsafe. Furthermore, is would be useful to be able to
prelink binaries and still use libsafe. Do you think I should reassign
this bug as a wishlist to libsafe or prelink ?
