You're probably missing the redhat-rpm-config package.

Especially now that AFAIU we also put some runtime configuration into it (i586 as the main arch on ix86) rather than just build-time configuration.

IMHO now that rpm has revived the target should be to merge all the interesting bits upstream and then kill kill kill it. It's contrary to Fedora's "upstream first" philosophy and has been known to make packages that built fine alone fail.
