The rpcgen program is provided by the rpcgen RPM. eg $ dnf install rpcgen

Or more generally you can get almost everything libvirt needs by doing $ dnf builddep libvirt

It's not the build script that looks under /usr/local/bin, it's the PATH variable which likely lists /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin. So, the only explanation I have for you as for how rst2html5 appeared under /usr/local/bin is that you or someone else installed it with pip as root. And the new docutils 0.16 looks like broke libvirt, so please stick with 0.15.

If anyone has it working over any Linux distribution, I am will to try that. I have a server ready for these experiments. I just need to have the latest libvirt running on my system.

That won't be enough - the bad rst5html5 install in /usr/local/ needs to be eliminated, either by deleting it, or removing it from $PATH.
