The one missing thing it searches for is "libjte".
That is the library from the project "JTE - Jigdo Template Export".

It is not in Fedora yet, and it is okay if this is missing.

Unfortunately, it leads to problems regularly. Either when users install
something without running a full update first. Or when they explicitly apply an
update (such as "yum update xorisso") without letting the package installation
tool apply *all* available updates. Sometimes the users do that only because
broken dependencies make it impossible (or very difficult) to apply all
updates.

Since xorisso is a subpackage of libisoburn, this is (sort of) covered by:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package

A dependency on /usr/bin/pkg-config is is automatic at least since several
releases of Fedora.
