options used in ./configure

Hi,

for a given binary file or rpm package, is there any way for me to know the ./configure options passed onto it when it was built?

Thanks,
Marc

I don't believe there is a standard way. Some programmes are helpful and give you information about the options used when they were compiled, for example see lsof -v.

ETA: Perhaps if you located the srpm you would have more clues in there.
