It's maintained to a limited extent in Yocto - 
https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/prelink-cross/ - though I think 
not used by default and not maintained very actively (and not running the 
prelink testsuite as part of Yocto toolchain testing).  Some users still 
find significant startup time benefits (for specific embedded system 
images or applications) that make it worth using prelink.
