Optional packages for the build-time testsuite runs?

Hi all,
GDB package has its own large testsuite which is being run automatically from
.spec %check during the build to easily find any possible regressions.
This testsuite automatically detects existence of some other packages
(gcc-gfortran gcc-java gcc-objc gcc-gnat) to run its optional parts to test
these specific langauges GDB support.
These exotic languages/rpms (gcc-gfortran gcc-java gcc-objc gcc-gnat) may not
be commonly installed on the target systems where one may just want to
`rpmbuild --rebuild' the .src.rpm for various reasons (such as using newer GDB
in an older Fedora system).
Listing gcc-gfortran/gcc-java/gcc-objc/gcc-gnat into BuildRequires (now since
gdb-6.7.1-4.fc9) just for the testsuite purposes brings:
pro) It enables the testsuite to run in Koji/mock.
con) It creates a burden for the users just rebuilding the rpm on their Fedora.
Isn't there a way to do some?
%if %{mock}
BuildRequires: gcc-gfortran gcc-java gcc-objc gcc-gnat
%endif
Tried
%if 0%{?dist:1}
but %dist is defined even for simple --rebuild by the redhat-rpm-config rpm.
Thanks for hints,
Jan
