Interesting. We don't do any C++ stuff, so I would hope that the first two of those are irrelevant. redhat-rpm-config, however, might well be relevant. I remember Devrim running into an odd build failure on a machine where it wasn't installed.

I wonder if it'd be worth explicitly BuildRequire'ing redhat-rpm-config in the PGDG SRPM? I don't feel the need to do it in Fedora/RHEL, because as mentioned there's an explicit policy not to for those projects. But it seems the PGDG RPMs get rebuilt in a rather wider variety of environments.
