Sounds like Fedora is simply not the distribution for you. Look at 
Gentoo if you want to compile everything from scratch. If that is too 
"bloated" try DSL. Fedora depends almost completely on rpm and uses yum 
to manage the dependencies.

Just so you know, though, unless you use something like yum or portage 
or apt-get you will always be dealing with dependency problems. I would 
also add that regardless of distribution any given program will have 
pretty much the same dependencies.
