You can safely purge all libtool archives: rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir}/lib*.la and then you can (safely) remove the Requires's crud that's built-up in the -devel subpkgs, ie, in the -devel subpkg: Requires: bzip2-devel, freetype-devel Requires: libjpeg-devel, libpng-devel, libtiff-devel, zlib-devel, libxml2-devel Requires: libexif-devel likewise for -c++-devel
