Prelink
prelink is a program which modifies ELF shared libraries and ELF dynamically linked binaries, so that the time which dynamic linker needs for their relocation at startup significantly decreases and also due to fewer relocations the run-time memory consumption decreases too (especially number of unshareable pages). Such prelinking information is only used if all its dependent libraries have not changed since prelinking, otherwise programs are relocated normally.

Try elfutils instead of libelf.
Not configurable with latest libelf (0.8.3)
With the latest version of libelf (0.8.3), prelink is not
even configurable:
configure: error: libelf does not properly convert
Elf64_Sxword quantities.
If you are using libelf-0.7.0, please use
patches/libelf-0.7.0.patch.
It looks like prelink is dead.
Package not buildable
Prelink is not buildable. It ends with:
prelink.c: In function `prelink_set_checksum':

`elf32_xlatetof' from incompatible pointer type
