Sorry about adding the silly dependency. How about the attached patch to
make the rbd checker only be built if the user requests it. In the
documentation for my use, I will describe how to build it. This way
majority of users will not be bothered.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] checker: do not build rbd by default

rbd is not a common driver and users will probably not have the
tools/libs
to use it. Make the rbd checker not built by default.
