Maybe a basesystem-devel? There are many programs used internally by rpm
scripts for example that aren't listed as Required. This of perl, awk,
and sed, cpio. And then all C programs need autoconf, automake, libtool,
glibc-devel, gcc, make, and probably several I have missed.
Nowhere are these programs even implicitly required for building an RPM
though 99 times out of 100 they are needed.
