https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-511654.html#3787212 An advanced user told me this could point to a bug. prelink left my system in an unfunctional state and prelink -au wasn't able to recover. undo-section should be missing. Moreover why prelink breaks a ppc but not x86 will be a different point..
Referring to forums.g.o. for bug description is junk wasting everyone's time. Post all the needed information here and reopen the bug when done. Thanks.
sys-devel/prelink-20050314 (currently stable on ppc) Used prelink command: # prelink -Ramvq Afterwards "segmentation fault" for every command such as ls.

I have to admit: sys-devel/prelink-20060712-r1 is functional. There I started manually the new cron script. Maybe that should be marked stable instead of the current stable.
This is a serious bug!!! I just borked my whole system :-(! I _strongly_ adwise you to mask prelink-20050314 for ppc! At least you could make it ~ppc!
Could you mark 20060712-r1 stable for ppc? Works fine since months now. But at least mask the 20050314.
Sure thing, marked ppc stable. Sorry about the mess. :p
