Should be pretty obvious really, starting with: it's a bit much to ask people to (possibly build and) install a whole another compiler just for a few test-cases that might not even concern them.

What spec? There's no spec in rpm upstream, what individual distros do about this is up to them.

Thanks. I agree gcc testing is not in your scope really, but wouldn't the same thing handle testing gcc just as easily?

(2) I do not think there can exist a system without gcc - in such case gcc is a symlink to clang. lrwxrwxrwx 1 u0_a184 u0_a184 8 Aug 6 09:31 /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/gcc -> clang-10* Jan

Um, I don't think this link is any universal setup. And there are other compilers besides gcc and clang. Rpm requires a C99 compiler, if there are compiler-specific requirements that's a bug (there probably are some)
