Ok, I ran it on both a manually stripped, manually built mutt and
then the RPMized mutt and they both say the same thing:
/usr/bin/mutt: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), stripped
That looks ok to me, but both sizes are slightly different when I
manually-build/manually-strip as opposed to the RPM version (see
other message for exact sizes).
