The scripts used to compress man pages and strip binaries are included
in the rpm package. Rpm's can be built as Red Hat does by adding to
/etc/rpm/macros:
%__spec_install_post \
/usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress \
/usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip \
/usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-comment-note \
%{nil}
Judicious use of globbing in %files, as in
%files
...
/usr/man/man1/foo.1*
permit packages to be built with or without compressed man pages.
(It's the %files manifest that was screwed in the packages that
caused the original problem report).
