I think it's true that prelink is a technology which has largely had its day, and I could well imagine that upstream Red Hat is no longer very interested in it. https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1183 has a summary of some of the reasons why. Before investing any significant amount of time in fixing up prelink (and from what you've described it sounds like it might indeed be a significant effort to get it working again on all platforms) it might be a good idea to make sure we are still convinced that prelink provides useful and meaningful benefits for OE-core users. If the answer to that is yes then I probably could spare a bit of time to look at the ARM and MIPS issues at least. p.
