If you don't mind editing the spec file a little, I think we can get a
version that works for you.  First, change the tex(latex)
BuildRequires to tetex-latex.  (The "tex(foo)" Provides were added in
Fedora to handle the transition from tetex to texlive.)  Second, if
you don't care about XEmacs support in your GCL build, then just nuke
every mention of XEmacs in the spec file, subpackages and all.  If you
do care, we'll have to get you an XEmacs package first.

I'm attaching what I think the final spec file should look like.
