Biggest problem will be qt itself and therefor all of kde. The issue are if qt
is build with xinerama and/ or gl support.
Xinerama in X is a nonPIC lib, and the GL part of X has nonPIC asm code in it.
Xinerama was allready addressed in X4.3 pre builds, GL is still to go.
So before either both issues in X are fixed or qt is build without Xinerama
and without GL support you wonÂt be able to use prelink.

P.S: GL issue can be avoided by using mesa3g, but you loose all glx stuff
then.
P.S.S: even after that, there are 3-4 kde apps that resist to get prelinked
