Executables and md5 checksum.

Hello,

After last glibc update I've noticed (in fact tripwire noticed) that
something has changed some executable files on my system e.x.:

"/usr/sbin/acpid"
"/usr/sbin/alternatives"
"/usr/sbin/anacron"
"/usr/sbin/apmd"
"/usr/sbin/atd"

and many others.

I've checked md5sum of this files on other FC1 systems and I was
shocked! At EVERY system this files have different md5sum, but rpm -v
rpm_package doesn't report any changes in MD5! Not executable files have
the same sum.
I think it's connected with somethink prelink but I'm not 100% sure.
Could someone explain me it?

Best regards

Piotr
