This dependency is bogus; it doesn't apply to RHL 7.1.  The easiest
solution is to just add --nodeps and build anyway.  I believe if you
use the appropriate -D to tell the RPM specfile you're on RHL 7, it
will suppress the build dependency; but you'd have to look at the
specfile to figure out what symbol to define, 'cause I don't recall
offhand ...
