Unfortunately, I had to revert this bump (and the previous one),
because it was causing breakage for the two things in Buildroot that
use host-prelink-cross. Indeed, newer versions of prelink-cross no
longer build/install prelink-rtld, and that breaks
gobject-instrospection and dracut.

Note that I did keep the patch that you added to fix the build issue,
and verified that host-prelink-cross continues to build on a machine
with host GCC 14.x.

I think investigating prelink-cross is probably not worth it.

Indeed, in gobject-introspection, the use of prelink-rtld can be
replaced by "objdump -p".
See https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/recipes-gnome/gobject-introspection?id=767e0880d4d729e659e859dd99c1cdb084b8ba51 for inspiration.

And in dracut, I believe the same could be done as well (though I have
not investigated in detail).

This would allow to get rid of the prelink-cross package entirely.

Best regards,

Thomas
