Ok I can't explain why this program got changed.. but the other files
were probably changed with the prelink command that alters the ld
library to speed up execution. The way to check what has really
changed on your system will be with the RPM command: rpm -Va. Rpm has
the logic to check the checksums of the file taking into account
prelink.
