prelink wants libraries and applications to be compiled with "-fPic" - as far as I know, this is a good thing.
The easiest way to making prelink happy is to adjust makepkg.conf on the building machines with this:

#make prelint happy with archlinux!
export MAKEFALGS="-fPic"

If using the "-fPic"-switch is bad thing, please let me know.
This task depends upon

fsck, this is not a bugreport, this is a feature request. And as far as I can see I cant change it either.

Libraries should be compiled with -fPIC (or -fpic, but not -fPic), but for other reasons than prelink, which is outdated thanks to improved gcc.
