buildreq for minicom-2.00.0-alt4 generates an unreasonably long list of requirements: 
packagereq: 
building requires list:                                                                                             bison cups gimp-print kernel22-source kernel24-source libncurses-devel libtermcap-devel pcmcia-cs

The only really used packages are the two lib*-devel.
All others are probably detected during the execution of ./configure.
---

I have three ideas of possible solutions (all of them are not good):

1. exclude files that are commonly used in autotools\' tests from the set of files that are important for detecting the packages;

2. do not trace ./configure and its child processes;

3. put %configure to another section of the spec-file (not %build, but %prep), so that one can first execute %prep without tracing, and then trace the %build stage.

Seems to be fixed (i.e. was minicom package problem):

now buildreq minicom produces:

# Automatically added by buildreq on Sat Sep 28 2002
BuildRequires: libtinfo-devel
