Thanks for reporting. I'll look into this.

The package does not build anymore (tests fail). Fedora has dropped it (http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/prelink.git/commit/?id=eb43100a8331d91c801ee3dcdb0a0bb9babfdc1f). Will try the Gentoo patches used at https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-devel/prelink/prelink-20130503.ebuild?view=markup. If that doesn't work out, I'll move it to AUR.

"make check" fails also after applying the gentoo patches.

Since the package does not build, does not work and upstream seems to have abandoned it (no update for two years), I'll move it to AUR. It can be moved back to [community] in the future if development picks up.

Dang, wine needs prelink to build. Will try to find a solution somehow.

Wine builds without prelink, but there may be issues with wine when it's not using prelink. The maintainers of the wine package are on it.

With some packages stopped in older version prelink work pretty well:
binutils 2.25-5
gcc 5.1.0-5
gcc-libs 5.1.0-5
glibc 2.21-4

In discusion in another forum (no Arch) I seen someone suggest problem in glibc. Some other applications shows the same error, for example pandoc.

Thanks, Dragonk.

Perhaps this package would be have a better home in AUR, in order to make use of older versions of gcc, glibc and/or binutils.

Got a suggestion to build prelink with "LC_ALL=C". The self-tests during "make check" still fails, but the error message does not appear.

Wrapped prelink with LC_ALL=C.

The bug, as reported here, is gone. (But prelink is still a problematic package, since "make check" fails and it is unmaintained).
