Yes, I think so. I remember there was some discussion around this. I'll

I am not much into the RPM thing ;) If you have the source available
inside the RPM try, you can eventually do a 

./configure --enable-mysql

rsyslog -v

will show the compile-time settings.

This for now, will follow-up soon.
