Actually, this time it didn't (Abort, not segfault), but 
prelink -mvf /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/libstdc++.so.5.0.2
worked fine.


Hmm, here's a strange little test case:

#prelink -amv
...
Prelinking /usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/sample_colorize
Segmentation fault

#prelink -mvf /usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/sample_colorize
<completes fine>

#prelink -amv
...
/usr/lib/libcpuaccel.so.0                                    4114a000-4114b900
Segmentation fault

#prelink -mvf /usr/lib/libcpuaccel.so.0
<completes fine>

#prelink -amv
...
Prelinking /usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/sample_colorize
Segmentation fault

and it will just keep alternating between those two.

Note that libcpuaccel.so.0 is the item that comes just before
the gimp stuff when it gets that far.

licpuaccel is from media-libs/libmpeg2, you probably know what the gimp stuff
is from.

Cheers,
Caleb
