They are the same thing to within measurement error ;-).  Or at least,
if you find an important difference, feel free to tell off Devrim or me

But I agree with Alan's point: if you are running RHEL at all, it's
probably because you want Red Hat support, and Red Hat won't support
RPMs not built by Red Hat.
