EH?   "yum install opensp-devel"
You're BUILDING FROM SOURCE!  The WHOLE POINT is to rebuild libofx
against the FC4 libraries.   Ignore the fact that this is being done
by RPM -- what you're doing here is the same as when you run configure;
make; make install by hand -- the only difference is that RPM does
it for you, and you get the benefit of RPM package management on the
files.

You're thinking to hard about the problem here.   thinking WAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY
too hard.

Did you try doing what I told you to?  Did the rpmbuild fail?  Or are
you just /guessing/ that this is going to be a problem?    Note that
the rpmbuild could fail if package names change and there's a BuildRequires
for the new-package-devel -- in /that/ case you'll need to change the
.spec and change the BuildRequires to the old-package-devel.
