So the main problem that CentOS team has to solve with each major release is to construct a build environment that will produce binaries that are bit-by- bit equivalent to official RHEL (up to trademarks, branding and some other stuff).
From my naive understanding, this boils down to the proper order in which
packages are supposed to be built. There is more than one possible ordering, and only one will give binary equivalent set of packages.
I think its even a little worse than this, that various packages require DIFFERENT build environments, toolsets, and so forth.
