No, you can not use the --nodeps
because in fact i know the dependencies of the gcc-compiler-rpm on AIX i can assure you: in fact you can and this is the way to go. This is a somehwat awkward point in the (overall quite well maintained) rpms of Michael Perzl.
Quote:
Now, there is a tool that automatically checks for each dependency required and it will try to download it from the configured distribution repository.
This tool is yum for RHEL and clones of it, and Fedora <= 21.
Fedora >= 22 had yum replaced by DNF.
Suse uses zypper.
This would be fine if threads OP had't stated that he is on AIX 5.2, which is IBMs version of UNIX for the POWER-hardware (IIRC he did so in his other thread he mentioned). There is an rpm-port for AIX, initiated with AIX 5L and its "Linux-friendly" initiative, but still it is definitely no Linux at all and even its rpm is quite unlike current rpm-versions in Linux systems because in fact it is rpm v3.2. So, even if you'd get yum (which is Phyton-based, so there might be an outside chance) to work on AIX it would perhaps fail because it expects rpm v4.x to be available.
PS: Before you ask: there is a similar situation when installing Mediawiki where you have to install
gettext-0.17-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm and
glib2-2.36.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm with the --nodeps option too, because Michael Perzl has (erroneously?) put in circular requirements.
I hope this helps.

makedeltarpm
MAKEDELTARPM(8) System Manager's Manual MAKEDELTARPM(8)
NAME
makedeltarpm - create a deltarpm from two rpms
SYNOPSIS
makedeltarpm [-v] [-V version] [-z compression] [-m mbytes] [-s seqfile] [-r] [-u] oldrpm newrpm deltarpm
makedeltarpm [-v] [-V version] [-z compression] [-s seqfile] [-u] -p oldrpmprint oldpatchrpm oldrpm newrpm deltarpm
DESCRIPTION
makedeltarpm creates a deltarpm from two rpms. The deltarpm can later be used to recreate the new rpm from either filesystem data or the
old rpm. Use the -v option to make makedeltarpm more verbose about its work (use it twice to make it even more verbose).
If you want to create a smaller and faster to combine "rpm-only" deltarpm which does not work with filesystem data, specify the -r option.
makedeltarpm normally produces a V3 format deltarpm, use the -V option to specify a different version if desired. The -z option can be used
to specify a different compression method, the default is to use the same compression method as used in the new rpm.
The -s option makes makedeltarpm write out the sequence id to the specified file seqfile.
If you also use patch rpms you should use the -p option to specify the rpm-print of oldrpm and the created patch rpm. This option tells
makedeltarpm to exclude the files that were not included in the patch rpm but are not byteswise identical to the ones in oldrpm.
makedeltarpm can also create an "identity" deltarpm by adding the -u switch. In this case only one rpm has to be specified. An identity
deltarpm can be useful to just replace the signature header of a rpm or to reconstruct a rpm from the filesystem.
MEMORY CONSIDERATIONS
makedeltarpm normally needs about three to four times the size of the rpm's uncompressed payload. You can use the -m option to enable a
sliding block algorithm that needs mbytes megabytes of memory. This trades memory usage with the size of the created deltarpm. Furthermore,
the uncompressed deltarpm payload is currently also stored in memory when this option is used, but it tends to be small in most cases.
