The difference in size is 100% related to the stripped/unstripped binaries.
These are the RH9 files in /usr/bin as they are in the RPM:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 208173 Nov 23 01:40 clusterdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 208816 Nov 23 01:40 createdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 258577 Nov 23 01:40 createlang
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 208161 Nov 23 01:40 createuser
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 205248 Nov 23 01:40 dropdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 257890 Nov 23 01:40 droplang
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 205322 Nov 23 01:40 dropuser
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 739671 Nov 23 01:40 pg_dump
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 176362 Nov 23 01:40 pg_dumpall
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 32745 Nov 23 01:41 pg_encoding
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 36674 Nov 23 01:40 pg_id
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 539901 Nov 23 01:40 pg_restore
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 908106 Nov 23 01:40 psql
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 143996 Nov 23 01:40 vacuumdb
And after stripping them:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 22936 Nov 26 01:15 clusterdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 22944 Nov 26 01:15 createdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 28160 Nov 26 01:15 createlang
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 23000 Nov 26 01:15 createuser
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 20772 Nov 26 01:15 dropdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 27564 Nov 26 01:15 droplang
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 20836 Nov 26 01:15 dropuser
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 160776 Nov 26 01:15 pg_dump
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 28824 Nov 26 01:15 pg_dumpall
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 4464 Nov 26 01:15 pg_encoding
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 4592 Nov 26 01:15 pg_id
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 77120 Nov 26 01:15 pg_restore
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 152344 Nov 26 01:15 psql
-rwxr-xr-x 1 planeet sander 13012 Nov 26 01:15 vacuumdb
This makes the difference between 4.1M (before) and 644K (after). I just
noticed that I disabled the debug-package that RH9 builds by default. That
very probably causes this difference. I will rebuild the RPMs with the
debug-package enabled to see what happens.
