That's been true since F-9, so I'm not quite sure why Pavel's build only
broke at F-10. FWIW the postgresql Fedora RPMs have

BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) glibc-devel bison flex autoconf gawk
BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::Embed), perl-devel

The extra Requires for MakeMaker has been there even longer.

+1. Would be a good idea to check for MakeMaker too.
