You need "everything" installs when you're building and distributing the RPMs of a package that "configure"s itself differently depending on what packages are installed (when the alternative is to be forever satisfying the whims of the "BuildRequires:" gods; who apparently have a rather ravenous appetite for "obscure apps").

That's kind of a big hammer for a little problem.

You can either do a quick awk command to feed those buildreqs to xargs yum install, or if you do this a lot, you could install mock to automatically ensure it's done right every time.
