As you mentioned rpm-native is being used for two reasons. 1 if rpm target
package are selected, it's being used to build, manage and install (rootfs) the
packages.
The other place, where it's always used, is the rpmdeps calculations.

Above is used as RPM needs bzip2 to compress components that end up in packages.

Back-end DB is well, Berkley DB.

Perl could be disabled if we don't need the perl interfaces to RPM.

OpenSSL is used for signing if I remember correctly.

expat is needed for some XML parsing. (Currently only internally to RPM, but
eventually it's thought this will be used for other purposes.)

Above are needed because of configure...

If we disable python interfaces to RPM, then this can be disabled.

ACL's are needed for some filesystem access on rootfs generation.

elfutils is used for rpmdeps, among other things.

this is needed for package installation and creation... it's the pattern
recognition.
> "rpm-native" -> "zlib-native"
zlib is needed, similarly to bzip2, in order to compress/extract specific items
that may end up in a package.
> "rpm-native" -> "popt-native"
popt is the command line argument processing used globally within RPM and it's
sub commands.
> "rpm-native" -> "attr-native"
attr is needed similar to the acl stuff, when constructing rootfs components.

So in the above, perl and python are really the only items that could be disabled.
