Prelink security

Hi,

I use -fPIC and the prelink utility on almost everything I compile, I was wondering what (if any) effect this has on the security of my binaries.

Cheers,

prelink is the exact opposite idea to ASLR :-) and PaX will override it, so you may as well not use both at the same time.
