 == Description ==
 Pre-Linking is a mechanism for linking programs to shared libraries ahead of time.
-In general, every time an application is run it must have it's external symbols resolved - looked up in the shared library symbol table, and fixed up in the program binary to refer to the correct offsets in the library. To use prelinking, a special utility is run which does this resolution and fixup once for the program. This saves the cost of linking at runtime.

 There is an existing package from RedHat which provides this feature.
