It would seem that glibc plan to remove prelink support in 2.36. If anyone wants
it to stick around they need to convince the glibc developers not to do that as
I don't think we'd be able to sustain it if it is removed there.

I'm seriously considering removing prelink from OE-Core before the LTS at this
point given the position glibc has and the lack of maintenance prelink clearly
has in OE :(.

Cheers,

Richard
