prelinking

["James" <Spy_Hunter@myrealbox.com>]

I recently discovered the very nice prelink package.  apt-get install prelink; prelink -a will prelink every binary on your system (in unstable at least).  I was looking forward to a nice speedup in KDE,
however, prelinking every KDE binary fails with the message "Cannot prelink against non-PIC shared library /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3"

So now I have some questions:  Does prelinking the KDE libraries still do any good?  I haven't used a stopwatch, but I don't notice any difference.  Why is QT position-dependent code, and can it be made position-independent?  Is it possible to get a fully prelinked KDE in Debian unstable?
