Yep -- 'rpm-devel' and  'zlib-static' (which was not pulled in by `dnf
builddep supermin`, though) package did it (thanks Pino):

Build `supermin:

    $ dnf install xz-static
    $ sudo dnf install rpm-devel -y
    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ make check
    [. . .]
    # TOTAL: 8
    # PASS:  8
    [. . .]

Check for rpm driver:

    $ ../src/supermin --list-drivers | grep fedora
    fedora/rpm      detected

Prepare and build the appliance using the existing script from source
tree:

    $ ./build-basic-vm.sh
    $ cd basic-full-appliance/

Boot it:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -kernel kernel \
       -initrd initrd  -serial mon:stdio \
       -append 'console=ttyS0,115200,selinux=0' \
       -drive file=root,format=raw,if=virtio \
       -nographic -nodefconfig -nodefaults
    [. . .]
    bash-4.3#   


Thanks.
