The which command is expected for rpm build environments, but it is not
included in 7.2.1511 (or :latest) docker containers. This was due to a
request from upstream to sync the base containers ->
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1273938

I would suspect that which could (and possibly should) be added as a
Requires upstream. In the meantime you should consider making sure you
install the packages listed either in Fedora's packaging guidelines or
spelled out in centos mock configs (like this one for example
https://git.centos.org/blob/sig-core!bld-seven.git/29517e030ebfb5c376dd742711077ac305e8c269/mock!c7.common-x86_64.cfg
)
