Just a few comments:

No parallel make?  Sure would go faster on my lots-of-cores builder.  If it
doesn't work you should at least add a comment indicating that.

I'm having trouble understanding the reasoning here:

So here's my question: What good are the static libraries without the headers
in the -devel package?  Static libraries have no runtime use at all; they'll be
embedded into executables at build time

The guidelines on static libraries should be pretty clear:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries
They should be in a separate -static package unless you really have no shared
libraries at all, in which case they can be in -devel but you must still
provide the -static symbol so that other packages can BuildRequires:
apron-static.

The prelink file confuses me.  Why is it in the main package?  Actually, why is
anything at all in the main package?
