Try something like:

$ for f in /usr/lib/*.so.*; do objdump -t -T $f | grep $symbol | grep
-v '*UND*'
&& echo $f; done

where $symbol is the unresolved symbol. This will tell you in what
library the symbol exists, if any.

I belive the brasero_job_finished_session should be in some library
brasero itself builds.

After knowing where it is defined, it should be added to the
Makefile's *_LIBADD of the binary or library as a patch (preferably
in Makefile.am or Makefile.in and not after running %configure).

It may also be required to actually fix the one of the libraries and not
the final library/binary (i.e. brasero binaries), in that case it may
also be required patching pkgconfig .pc files, if it uses them.

I am sure others will have a better response, and ways to handle this :-)
