To give you a bit more info:
- mach reads the buildreqs from the srpms - and tries to satisfy them
This step is just plain wrong. This is prone to breaking in several
scenarios including this one. We need deps to be parsed only from a
fresh spec, parsed within a minimal buildroot of a target distro.

IIRC Enrico's wrappers around mach used in the fedora.us buildsystem had
two passes for spec parsing to pull in deps. This older implementation
is not ideal because it avoided rpmlib. But this multiple pass approach
using rpmlib is exactly the right idea.
First pass allows it to determine BuildRequires to put into the
buildroot. Then after those BuildRequires are installed, the second
pass happens during rpmbuild itself, where the actual values from stuff
executed in %() are filled in the resulting packages. The deps in the
binary RPMS are the only important deps. The deps in the SRPM output
are unimportant and should not influence anything in the future.
