> I don't have any idea what these random generated numbers are and where they are coming from. I am very much sure 'open-vm-tools' package doesn't build/generate these .debug files. Can someone help resolve this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

for the record - open-vm-tools were packaged for Fedora in RPM Fusion
some time ago, please take a look at
http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/rpms/open-vm-tools/F-14/?root=free and
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1874

Thanks everyone for the response. I checked the wiki https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package#.25files_section and added the following lines in the spec file.

%global _enable_debug_package 0
%global debug_package %{nil}
%global __os_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress %{nil}

This solved the issue. I could properly generate the rpm file.
