4.237.1. RHEA-2011:1768 — prelink enhancement update

An updated prelink package that adds one enhancement is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The prelink utility is used to modify ELF shared libraries and executables. It reduces the number of relocations that need to be resolved at runtime, and thus enables faster start-up.

Enhancement

BZ#739460: To improve performance on AMD Family 15h processors, the prelink utility has been adapted to align 32-bit libraries on 32 KB boundaries.

All users of prelink are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds this enhancement.
