That seems like it must be a bug in RPM...  the only thing different
we do to the requires through the above 3 lines is disable the
internal generation of them.

So:

bug 487958 - [rpm] rtld(GNU_HASH) dropped
bug 487960 - [rpmdevtools] RFE: filter Perl private libs for
arch-specific packages

Once bug 487958 is resolved, I'll go through and rebuild all my
packages that need this applied...  I have a little script/patch that
will do this relatively painlessly that I can share, or just hit up
the other ones en-masse (or file bugs, etc); not surprisingly,
mod_perl and perl itself are the biggest offenders :)
