There are variables like build host, build time, file timestamps, file
modes, --define's passed to the srpm build, possibly other buildsys
configuration variations etc. All of which are sort of cosmetic, but
nevertheless result in a different source rpm.
I'm really not worried about cosmetic changes. None of these things
should affect the binary packages generated from that src.rpm.
