I do not like any hand-editing requirement, I was looking for a transparent
solution.

This would put the GDB-specific stuff (dependency list) into the mock package...

Nice idea.  While it could be made clean by introducing such general macro
there so far I tried (going to commit it) a GDB-only automatic detection by:
	%if "%{_topdir}" == "/builddir/build"
	BuildRequires: gcc-xyzzy
	%endif

%_topdir is already being set by mock (and thus koji) to such value by default.
It can get updated later if someone introduces some "%XYZtestsuite" macro.


Thanks,
