Maybe not an answer to your questions but...: http://lwn.net/Articles/341244/ If you actually read the article linked to from that one: Just before the holiday weekend in the US, somebody uploaded a broken prelink which hosed most important executables on the system. The result was a box which wouldn't boot I take it the prelink in Gentoo is not broken.

Does that mean there's a way portage will call prelink on its own when it finds it? Well, it doesn't here. I still have to manually prelink or have a cron job. I've always wondered this too, so I decided to test it: * Put prelink in my FEATURES in make.conf [...] So it appears that it *is* running it on its own. But the docs I quotes say You do not need to set FEATURES=prelink in your make.conf.
