I don't build on SuSE, so I can't say for sure, but I'd imagine that SuSE isn't stripping the resulting binaries, which Red Hat's build scripts do automatically. The easiest way to say for sure would be to install the binaries on SuSE and manually strip imapd, for instance:

strip -g /usr/lib/courier/bin/imapd -o /tmp/stripped-imapd

Compare the stripped version to the original and to the version on Red Hat, and draw your own conclusions.

I changed "make install" to "make install-strip" in both spec files and the resulting binaries were virtually identical. So clearly you're right. Thanks for the tip.
