I think the problem is that rpmbuild for el7 doesn't understand 
'Recommends:'.  As Tom H said, it's new.  Iff that's the only problem 
you can perhaps just comment out that line - but IIUC you will need to 
build a new src.rpm from the edited specfile, and then try to rebuild 
from that.

But I suspect that a bare 'Recommends:' implies that no build for el7 
from the fc27 srpm has yet succeeded.
