I was under the impression that automatic dependencies (i.e. file dependencies 
such as above) were not kept in the db.  Regardless, since this is trying to 
create a system with RPM from scratch ala LFS, I am going to try to just use 
the --nodeps option while I am building the static software. Then when it 
comes time to building the system proper (after chrooting into the new static 
environment), the deps for the final system software should be resolved?

Can you explain this "bootstrapping" a little?  Is this like updating the rpm 
db without actually having installed any rpms?
