The differences simply then come from the fact that the files are build-time generated, one way or the other. Just as an example of it, glibc generates it's *.info documentation from *.texi sources, so the timestamps differ regardless of gzip preserving it:

This is quite unusual, in general info pages are pregenerated,  to avoid
issues with makeinfo version mismatches. Also it is possible, in such cases to use another timestamp (here, for example, the VERSION.texi or similar timestamp) with touch -r to correct timestamps. Some people consider that it is over-engineering, other like to do it.

Please explain, which _bug_ in Fedora's glibc rpm this would fix.
