The feature was enabled by mistake during a ptxdist upgrade from 2012.04 (TQ BSP 0101) to 2013.12 (TQ BSP 0109).
Normally I cherry-pick rule upgrades rather than doing full ptxdist upgrade, since it's easier to maintain auto build servers, if they only need to do a source checkout.
We don't see any noticeable app start improvements. But disabling prelink result in a significant lower product production time.
