So I built the x86_64 version with a plain rpmbuild. For the i686 I used mock.
On the base system I did forget to install redhat-rpm-config. Even though this will not make the build fail it does result in a much bigger glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64.rpm as compared to the original glibc-2.12-1.4.el6.x86_64.rpm, even though almost all of the files inside are identical in size. I suppose the difference in file size is caused by the lack of brp-compress and the invocation of it after the build.
Since the macros file is missing too %_binary_filedigest_algorithm 8 is not set when building on the base system. This option sets the FILEDIGEST checksum to use SHA-256 instead of MD5. Could this be the cause for rpm not to consider the config and document files from the x86_64 and i686 glibc rpms to be identical?
