I've run into a problem. Binaries that have been prelinked no longer match

Oddly enough I had thought the same when all my binaries showed as changed. I
think that portage is unable to deal with this, you prelink after portage has
installed and forgotten about the files... I'm thinking it would be better
to use tripwire or such if you need to create a 'snapshot' of how the system
looks...

According to <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/prelink-howto.xml>:
Newer versions of Portage can handle, via prelink, the changing MD5sums and mtimes of the binaries.
