Yes. prelinking changes library contents. rpm expects that the MD5 digest is
for unprelinked libraries.

prelinking is a transform applied to libraries on the client install
machine, since the prelink changes can/will be
different on every client install.

Since the build machine is also a "client", and you have packaged a
prelinked library.

The best fix (as pointed out) is to run prelink --undo on the build machine.
