I compiled 5.5.0 on CentOS 5.11, which should be close enough to RedHat
5.10.

I did a basic compile (./configure --prefix=/usr/local/collectd-5.5.0) and
I don't get that missing symbol:

 [root at centos5 collectd]# readelf -s interface.so | grep ignorelist
 53: 0000000000201e08 8 OBJECT LOCAL DEFAULT 23
 ignorelist 54: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS utils_ignorelist.c
 59: 0000000000001300 39 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 10 ignorelist_create
 60: 0000000000001330 100 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 10 ignorelist_free
 63: 0000000000001220 16 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 10 ignorelist_set_invert
 66: 0000000000001230 204 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 10 ignorelist_match
 68: 00000000000013a0 676 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 10 ignorelist_add

In fact, you can see the libtool object getting created:
# make
...
 CC interface_la-interface.lo
 CC interface_la-utils_ignorelist.lo
 CCLD interface.la
...

I think your error may be a missing dependency or the configure options
that you are using to build it, but 5.5.0 should be OK on RHEL 5 as far as
I can tell.
