You need a standard development environment for A and as far as B is 
concerned, you should be able to figure that out with RPM -q and ldd.

This is *exactly* what I do.  My asterisk boxes are minimal slackware installs 
(500M, I could trim a lot out of that but haven't needed to) and I have a 
slack9.1 build environment on a USB hdd that I chroot to, cvs up, make new 
packages for and then push the packages out.  Piece of cake.
