False positive because they use gcc which was crashing due to the
(at the time) missing make dependency. Are these packages missing
BuildRequires: gcc ?


Do I understand correctly, that gcc requires make [0]? Therefore at
this stage, it should be enough to have `BuildRequires: gcc` and
hence such packages should not be on your list?
Please don't rely on gcc requiring make. This is an internal
implementation detail of the gcc package, and hopefully one day
we'll be able to drop this dependency.
If a package uses make directly, it should BR:make itself.


I think this was never clear cut if such dependency should be specified or not. The dependencies, which are at some point added for whatever good reason might be left behind while they are not useful anymore. This problem on itself is much harder to solve then adding the missing dependencies should they be needed one day.

So while I don't disagree with your point, I think the the `BR: make` should be automatically added only where needed right now to prevent FTBFS after make removal.

I am asking, because for example rubygem-bcrypt is on the list while
requiring gcc [1]. This is just one package I have checked (but
actually I have added make to the ruby package, later wondering if
it was necessary), but I suspect that also other rubygem- packages
are similar case. Could you please make sure if they should or
should not be on your list?
