Kristian, I can not imagine Linux box unable to run 'find' command; you have one? I don't see big need to add findutils (or coreutils, or grep) to Requires. Do we have some general packaging advice how to deal with that issue? Actually, you may use alternatively busybox to run find (or other basic commands). So hard-wiring libtool with findutils can be bad from principal POV. Fedora packaging guidelines talk about "automated" build requires, but runtime Requires should be defined in the package. Usually, if there is no circle dependency, it should not cause any issue, as you said, findutils or busybox are available on vast majority of linux installations. Other possibility would be to adjust the script to fail and inform user about missing find - if the find is required. This is imho acceptable way to deal with "optional" dependency, which just reduces the functionality, but is not a must. I'm using yum to create a minimal install root for build testing wayland and weston:
yum -y --releasever=20 --nogpg --installroot=$path \
--disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=fedora install $rpms
where $rpms includes a few basic rpms (systemd, fedora-release) and all the build requirements for wayland and weston. The list includes libtool but not findutils, and as a result the builds fail spuriously.

libtools uses find from findutils but the RPM doesn't have it as a Requires: [krh@tokamak uturn]$ rpm -qv libtool libtool-2.4.2-18.fc20.x86_64 [krh@tokamak uturn]$ rpm -q --requires libtool | grep find [krh@tokamak uturn]$ grep 'find $my_xdir' /usr/bin/libtool my_oldobjs="$my_oldobjs "`find $my_xdir -name \*.$objext -print -o -name \*.lo -print | sort | $NL2SP`
