I found one very minor modification was needed: the spec file requires "perl-interpreter" and that doesn't seem to see the "perl" package installed under Centos 7.

Ah, now I recall why I didn't run into this... I had installed the perl-generators package from EPEL, which installs the dummy perl-interpreter. I don't recall if I installed this myself or if yum picked it up, but either way, installing perl-generators will satisfy that dependency without modifying the spec file.

I presumed that the perl packaging had changed a bit between RHEL7 and FC Rawhide, so I didn't go hunting dependencies down, I just changed it to depend on the stock perl interpreter package.

Not sure about the other dependencies you added (and why those aren't explicit, either, if they're required -- I presume you filed a bugzilla with Fedora to include them for future builds?).

They were explicit package dependencies in the FC Rawhide SpamAssassin 3.4.3 SRPM, sorry if that wasn't clear. They were not in the stock RHEL7/Centos7 RPM or the FC Rawhide SRPM for 3.4.2, which I had built earlier.

It's not a big deal, just some new packages to install for the build to work. I don't think it rises to the level of a bug.

FWIW, the 3.4.4 SRM from Fedora Rawhide builds and installs on my C7 system (which includes perl-generators) without any mods to the spec file.

Right, that's not surprising given that is just a regular package I didn't know about.
