[Gllug] coreutils checksums

I'm sure this is a really basic question, but here goes:
I have multiple machines, each with OEL5.5 (effectively RHEL5.5 rebadged 
by Oracle)
Each machine has coreutils-5.97-23el5_6.4 installed, but md5sums of 
/bin/cp, /bin/ls, etc are different on every machine.

Doing an "od -c /bin/cp > node1.cp" and similarly for node2, diff 
node1.cp node2.cp shows that there are genuine differences between the 
binaries.

They all have the same timestamp, file size, ldd output, etc

Am I missing something obvious (I'm sure that I am!)
