Hi,
It turns out that preventing RH9 from building the debuginfo package also
prevented it from stripping the binaries. This was what caused the big
difference in filesize. I have rebuilt the RPMs for RH9 and put them on
http://opensource.nederland.net/.
I had to make a small modification to the specfile (again) because it seems
that macro's work differently for each RPM / RedHat version. There have been
no other changes to the sources or specfile, so the end-result is the same.
Sorry for the inconvenience I caused by disabling the debuginfo package!
Sander.
