Jakub's point may be that there needs to be some way of enforcing
the
dependencies that constitute a 'minimum build environment' that other
packages can assume to be present when building.
Well... If glibc-devel is to be present, then I guess so should gcc
and binutils. Otherwise I fail to see the point.
Maybe we need a BuildNoPrereq: for the rare exceptions?
