In terms of packages that matter to me, it's only these libs which are 
claimed by prelink to not be compiled with -fPIC.

/usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

I decided to try to graft CFLAGS=-fPIC on libxml++ and rebuild the 
package, however when it builds I see it likes to use libtool, and the 
output of that already has -fPIC and -DPIC I didn't add, for example

  g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DLIBXMLPP_BUILD -I. -I../.. -I../../libxml++ 
-I../.. -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/glibmm-2.4 
-I/usr/lib/glibmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/sigc++-2.0 
-I/usr/lib/sigc++-2.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 
-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 
-fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -march=armv5te 
-MT schemavalidator.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/schemavalidator.Tpo -c 
schemavalidator.cc  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/schemavalidator.o

It's absent on executable build lines but I think that's OK from what I 
understand.  So I think it's at least trying to be built -fPIC by itself 
already.

I installed the new package and prelinked the lib

-bash-4.0# prelink -v /usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2
...
Prelinking /usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2.0.7
-bash-4.0#

Then I tried to prelink the executable that is not prelinked due to 
failure with /usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2

-bash-4.0# prelink -v /usr/bin/txtr-client-proxy
...
Prelinking /usr/bin/txtr-client-proxy
prelink: /usr/bin/txtr-client-proxy: Cannot prelink against non-PIC 
shared library /usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2
-bash-4.0#

So prelink did not complain when run on the lib but did complain when 
run on the executable that binds to the lib, and it complained then 
about the lib.

Is there something I can do with, eg, objdump to probe the PIC-ness of 
/usr/lib/libxml++-2.6.so.2 that prelink refuses to work with or 
otherwise debug this futher?
