AIDE is one good example of software that is hurt by prelink.

The prelinking feature can interfere with AIDE because it changes binaries in an attempt to decrease startup time.
In other words prelink causes false positives.
So I'm surprised to read that in rhel6 prelink is required by aide.
Regardless, I suppose having the latest version is desirable for those looking to speed startup times.
Or perhaps just compile dependencies.

aide and hmaccalc (I may be missing a few, my logs aren't quite
complete).
