I had that same issue recently when building collectd at work. libvirt
on rhel5 has that symbol (virDomainBlockstats or something).
The problem is that autoconf is compiling a test program against
libvirt, which fails because it can find -lxenstore. Adding xen-devel to
the BR of collectd fixes this, but this probably a bug in libvirt.
Yes, we tracked it down and in fact it's a bug in the RHEL5 libvirt
package (460138), with dependencies as you say.
I have now built collectd in the EL-5 branch. A few other fixes were
needed too.
