And yet, the p5-Compress-Bzip2 package doesn't appear to have any issue.

Now, it doesn't contain that exact same symbol, but rather:
XS_Compress__Bzip2_bzlibversion

looking at things, I think your setup assumed bzip2 was present in the base
system. Not so.

The p5-Compress-Bzip2 port both has a dependency on the bzip2 library
AND a config.in change to handle stuff under /usr/local.

I would tend to assume you need to tell your home-grown setup to look
in /usr/local... which is obviously disabled by default here.
