what's the output of `curl-config --libs` on your system? This output is
taken by the build system and appended to the `LDFLAGS' when linking the
apache plugin. If this output explicitely lists `/usr/lib/libidn.so'
then this is a bug by the Fedora people.

You can do the following to build collectd nonetheless:
- Run the configure script
- Open `src/Makefile' in your favorite editor
- Search for the definition of `BUILD_WITH_LIBCURL_LIBS'
- Replace `/usr/lib/libidn.so' with `-lidn'
- Save and `make'
