--- Comment #10 from Ben Beasley <[email protected]> ---
Please re-read the guidelines around bundled dependencies carefully; I think
you have some misunderstandings.

When you bundle dependencies, Fedora doesn’t require you to install the bundled
dependencies as “extra libs”, i.e., separate shared libraries. It requires the
following:

  1. Upstream does not support building with an external copy of the
dependency. If it did, you would NOT be permitted to bundle, no matter how
inconvenient the extra packaging might be.

  2. You have publicly contacted upstream about a path to supporting system
libraries; and if upstream refused, recorded it in a comment or in a source
file referenced from a comment adjacent to the virtual Provides.

  3. You have added the appropriate virtual Provides to your spec file. These
are just metadata, which allow bundling to be tracked.

Having followed these steps, you are NOT required to patch the build system in
any way.

I know dealing with bundled dependencies is a perennial pain, but you have to
fully understand the guidelines around them and pick one of the permissible
options.
