I did read that one of the points of rpm packaging was to have
repeatable package builds. While this doesn't seem to fit this
scenario, perhaps it is normal when re-compiling an i386 package on
an AMD Athlon with possibly updated libraries / compilers etc (from
mock devel as well) that the built binaries would change (eg, even if
it was just text fields like:
# abcdtool
Built on blah machine on Fri blah) ?
elfutils has a tool to compare two binaries and see if they're different
for real; eg ignoring usual "elf noise" ;)
OK,
# eu-elfcmp ncopy mock/ncopy
eu-elfcmp: ncopy mock/ncopy differ: symbol table [4]
Can someone offer an interpretation of this ?
Still couldn't find any man/info/--help on these utils - any pointers
appreciated ;~)
Also, does the message indicate a difference at item [4] ?
Or that the table structure is [4] units long ?
Or that there were [4] differences ?
Or is there more than 1 eg[4] parts to the symbol table ?
Does eu-elfcmp exit on first difference, or does it continue until end
of the elf headers ?
