Many apps are linked against libraries as a compile time detection - and
the same package can be built so it is NOT linked against the libraries.

The way to do it is to remove the BuildRequires for those packages and
build in mach - that way the resulting rpm's won't be linked against the
optional libraries you don't want.

You also could disable the optional libraries explicitly in the spec
spec file at the configure line.
