            Bug ID: 1230486
           Summary: Remove BuildRequires on glibc-headers, and remove
                    Requires on glibc-headers.
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: perl-Config-AutoConf

The BuildRequires on glibc-headers should either be removed or converted into a
BuildRequires: gcc. Either you need to be able to compile C programs, in which
case the compiler will provide the required implementation headers (by
requiring glibc-devel), or you don't need glibc-headers.

The Requires on glibc-headers should also be removed. The development libraries
and headers will be used by developers via BuildRequires, but along with
BuildRequires: gcc or similar, and thus they will have installed all the
headers that are required to use perl-Config-AutoConf for C or other languages.

The reason I'm asking this is that glibc-headers may or may not be removed in
the future, and I'm looking to remove what appears to be unnecessary
dependencies on glibc-headers.
