11 Nope, that was not implemented. In the end portage just checks for the
12 existence of the prelink binary. If it exists then it uses that to
13 calculate the MD5sum verification of files. ( as prelinked files have
14 different MD5sums then the originals )

16 ( read portage.py )

18 Also the file /etc/prelink.conf is automatically generated by portage,
19 if prelink is installed.

21 That is all the prelink support in portage.
