Question of point of view :) 
For devel packages, removing a dependency to an other -devel package means
often an API/ABI break  which should not occurs anyway.
However, I know that the globus dependency tree is not trivial
I wanted to signal it, but it's clearly not a blocking issue for me.

Fine for me.

My apologizes for this, I did not think to this usual md5 problem.

EL5 compiles now without problems :

EL5: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6283592


Nothing critical anymore for me, package well done & accepted.
