Nope. That's a different thing.
prelink warning talks about SHN_UND symbols other than STB_WEAK.
It is ok if SHN_UND STB_WEAK symbols cannot be resolved, they just resolve
to 0 in that case.
The ld.so change in glibc 2.3.2 was about STB_WEAK vs. != STB_WEAK
symbol definitions (ie. other than SHN_UND) which are now treated equally.
