Avoiding Requires: dependencies in rpm 4.8.0

I mistakenly asked this on the rpm5 site.

tl;dr version:  How do I get rpmbuild to ignore the .so in the %files tree
and just add the .so without adding a provides or requires for it?

Full text of the question below:

So I'm trying to package the Endeca engine so that I can easily install it
via RPM.  I'm pretty sure this doesn't violate any terms of service, and
the installation is actually pretty simplistic.  You run a few shell
scripts giving them a target directory.  It writes a few config files that
are easily modified.  This the whole thing should be pretty transportable,
right?

First, the installation has a pile of shared libraries in it.
libstdc++.so.6 is just one of them, but it's a consistent thorn in my side.
Second, the installation installs its own jdk and perl binaries.  I'm sure
it was just WAY too hard for the endeca developers to write something with
compatibility checks built in, but that's another story.

The real problem I have is that when I package the various pieces, rpmbuild
produces something that looks like this:

Here's my question:
How do I get rpmbuild to just package the files without processing the .so
dependencies and requirements?  I KNOW that the packaging will work,
because I've done the copy by hand.  I know I don't need anything else when
I install.  But when I do a
yum localinstall endenca*
I get

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


All of these requirements are fulfilled already, so how do I get rpmbuild
to ignore them and not mark the various *.so as requirements?

Thanks!
