prelinking speed

Speaking about prelinking: Prelinking changes the binaries themselves
and therefore the md5sum is not the same anymore.  This might be a
problem for RPM (since you can verify that a program is still the
original using the md5sum) and also for security programs that create
a database of security related programs.   

Is there any solution for these problems (besides regenerating the
md5sums somehow after prelinking)?  I'm not aware of any.
