That's right; objprelnk can't link against the current binutils. Compatibility was broken a few binutils versions ago. That's why we don't use it on KDe per default as we used to (pity). Of course, the binutils guys have ben promising us generic prelinking for a long time now... Nothing I can do about it, sorry.
