The build process wants QEMU so its a BR. There is no dependancy hell here unless you're using the wrong tools. mock trivially pull in the chain of deps as needed during build, so there's nothing to 'clean up'.
i can't build (since i don't have ppc) but i need it for qemu-system-ppc which is needed by qemu which is needed by libvirt:-( are you sure all of these req and br are required?
You're not making any sense here. You don't need a ppc host, to build qemu-system-ppc. All host architectures can build all QEMU targets, you're not restricted to matching host & qemu target, with the exception of KVM.
i wrote above i can't build openbios-ppc which required by qemu etc...so i can't build libvirt:-(
Then just disable the qemu-system-ppc bits in QEMU. It really isn't hard to remove the ppc sub-RPM and change the target-list for the QEMU build to turn off ppc.
this means even on a primary platform ix86 these packages can't be rebuild without modification. wouldn't be easier to put back openbios-ppc, vgabios, bochs-bios-data, etherboot into qemu?
