Yes, I noticed you made the change. Thanks for catching that. The 
BuildRequires had been that way in core for a long time and it never 
occured to me that it was causing the problem. Are there docs anywhere 
that say what exactly is guaranteed to be in a build environment and 
therefore don't need to be explicitly listed in the spec file? 
(Apparently the c++ stuff in the past had to be required explicitly, but 
now it does not?)
