See if the binary has a command-line option to print out what you're
after, similar to perl's -V option.

Failing that, grab the source RPM from SuSE and check the spec file.
This method also has the advantage that you can modify the spec file and
build a binary RPM with the options you want.

I don't know of any way of getting the spec file or any of the build
options from a binary RPM. You need the source RPM for that.
