Ah, that's what it is. IRIX Quickstart lives again. Zombie has returned. :-)

Note that people who are implementing these things have somewhat different
view of the world. They have to make sure that everything works exactly as
it would without prelinking, even if the application does extremely stupid
things (like being written in C++ with exceptions turned on :-).

But in case they have a program which will behave by a certain rules (eg.
run-time conflicts can be ignored), they can implement infrastructure with
a much better behaviour.
