My bad.. rpmbuild, through it's use of gdb, which requires python, which
requires libffi.  So my naive use of mock to try to build a new version
of libffi and all of it's dependencies fail.

Ok, I suppose I'm willing to try, but I have no idea what a side-tag is.
Repoquery tells me there are 192 packages that depend directly on
libffi.

Could somebody please walk me through the first few steps?  Maybe start
by explaining side tags?
