We've got a "hard" dependency on prelink (explicitly listed in the
specfile).  If prelink isn't there, they only bad result that should
happen is extra failures in systemtap.exelib/exelib.exp.

So, it seems reasonable to remove that dependency for arm.  I'll take a
whack at exelib.exp and make sure it fails gracefully when prelink isn't
there.
