http://www.fedora.us/wiki/HOWTOFindMissingBuildRequires
fedora.us Extras packages generally do not list any BuildRequires that 
are part of the minimal set as defined by this page.

Add fedora-rpmdevtools to your minimal mach environment, and it will 
automatically pull in everything you need to build anything from 
fedora.us Extras.  Many Red Hat packages will fail, or produce 
unexpected results though, due to missing or wrong BuildRequires though. 
  We need to fix those eventually.
