Replying to my own thread after a quick investigation...
I added a fake BuildRequires (non-existent centos-rpm-config) to a kmod
package spec file and tried to build it:
$ rpmbuild -ba --target=`uname -m` --define 'kversion 2.6.18-92.el5'
--define 'kvariants ""' coretemp-kmod.spec
Building target platforms: x86_64
Building for target x86_64
error: Failed build dependencies:
centos-rpm-config is needed by coretemp-1.1-3.el5.x86_64
and it fails to build as expected, so yes, BuildRequires does work.
But when I add the same fake Requires the package builds fine but
there's no sign of the fake Requires:
# rpm -Uvh --test kmod-coretemp-1.1-3.el5.x86_64.rpm

rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

It just gets ignored (but note the dependency for lm_sensors from the
custom kmodtool script is there).
I have no idea why this is so.
