No, what I use in my ancient-dumber-than-kiss chroot builder is to
extract the BRs, install them and then kickstart any rpmbuild
machinery.

and you get the fact that these "Requires" are already macro expanded
so no chicken/egg situation here even if the BRs had had been
macroized.

rpm -qRp foo-1-2.src.rpm | xargs yum --root=xxx --yes install
rpmbuild --root xxx ...
