I've pushed a new set of changes to the prelink_cross branch.

The change most likely to affect YP users will be the arch-arm fix contributed
by Andrew Stubbs (Mentor). This resolves a problem where the prelinker would not
work on modern binutils due to a change in the BFD library. For more
information, see:

Also contributions from Samsung have added support to allow the prelinker to
evaluate LD_PRELOAD libraries as well.  This can be useful if you have a system
where you may need to preload libraries for various purposes.  It ensures that a
slot is available for preloading w/o conflicting with the normal load process.


Below is a quick summary of the changes (Changelog.cross entries):
