I use gcc 2.7.2.1 that comes with RH4.2. I have no idea what
compiler was used for the rmp. Else I just typed make in the source
directory.
Yes. It was a trusted site. It was metalab if I recall well.
Anyway, I don't think the difference was because of extra code. But I
thought all the time that the executables from the rpms were made just the
same way. And ipfwadm is pretty plain, and it doesn't involve settings
that will increase/decrease the number of compiled lines.
