Fine.

There are lots of packages with 
  make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT INSTALL='install -p'

see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Timestamps

In fact, every package that installs stuff that did not get compiled should
have it. The reason for this is that we support multiarch systems in Fedora,
where you can install both a 32 bit and 64 bit version of a package. rpm will
allow a file to be owned be multiple packages as long as size and timestamp
match - otherwise the packages will conflict.

Since the XO is not multilib, this is a minor issue, no need for a rebuild, but
you can fix it in the next version.
