If you want to take it as such, that is of course your perogative. To
me it's simply a display of facts. You may have differences on your
system other than what Karanbir has. So even with two identical files,
you may still have differences. Posting your version of the rpmmacros
file won't help us find those. You comparing build logs will.

Because scripted (rpmbuild and specfile) builds are reproduceable in
similar manner, using diff will let you identify differences with line
number tagging. Makes things simple.
