There is not much point of installing rpm-build if you don't want to build packages
Right. The point is that building packages doesn't necessarily mean compiling.
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?
