Oh, I just realized that there's an rpmdiff tool.

Mentioned in your original mail. ;-)

Well, I tried that,
and the only difference it shows is the timestamp for each file, which I
would expect to be different.  An rpmdiff -iT of the two noarch rpms
returns nothing.

That's "Architecture independent files":
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/MultilibTricks#Timestamps

I eventually figured it out. The doc package had a Requires for the main package, which is arch-specific.

At one point, I had commented out the Requires to see if that would fix the problem, but I must have forgotten to regenerate the SRPM before doing the next all-platforms build, and then not forgotten to regenerate it before doing the platform-specific builds that I rpmdiff'ed. Or something... Whatever I did wrong, the dependency on an arch-specific package turned out to be the main problem.

I guess noarch packages shouldn't have any arch-specific dependencies. Is that correct?
