Rebuild mozilla from source results in large binaries

I downloaded the updated mozilla-1.4.1-18.src.rpm, installed it and ran
`rpmbuild -bb mozilla.spec`. The resulting rpm binaries are nearly
100MB. mozilla-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm is 77MB, whereas the binary from Red
Hat is 15MB.
It looks like the /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.1/components/ directory is 182MB
(20MB originally). For example, libgklayout.so is 55MB in my rebuild
where it is 4.4MB in the original binary. When I run `strip
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.1/components/libgklayout.so`, it strips it to
4.4MB. I just installed the binutils upgrade, so I am trying that now.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks,
Forrest
