libguestfs is using its own find-requires script, which is what appears
to be generating those. From a quick look it's not clear whether it
really needs exactly those files or whether just a soname match would be
good enough.
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/547496 seems to be the relevant
bug.
It really does require those exact files. It's not linking, it's
composing an appliance on the fly using files taken from the host:

In general we should probably carp about file reqs that look like
DSO
deps, especially since rpm has %{isa} now. But this case might be
special.
This isn't helpful.
