Just thought I would note that I got past this, and a couple more
problems with incompatible versions. I am now wrestling with the
Infer build itself, which really, really wants to compile llvm and
clang from source. I think I will wait until the mass rebuild results
are tagged into Rawhide (to avoid Release field conflicts), and then I

wants them, or retire them if nobody does.
They are not needed by anything currently in Fedora, but turn out to
be needed by another dependency of Infer, so we should keep them for
now.
Also, there is so much copied boilerplate between spec files that I
think it is time to make a few rpm macros. I'm thinking:
