because the set of -devel packages has been arbitrary, and

don't make sure that particular tools exist in the buildroot.
As seth has pointed out before, we don't have to use the existing comps
file, we can create our own groups, but in comps format. That is the
real question, adding comps format support to the build system.
I agree with the rest about the minimal build environment, buildreqs for
the rest.
