Ah k. 

yum remove libevent

So its not neccessary to built from sources. You can install the rpm (http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/21761893/dir/centos6/com/libevent-2.0.13-14.2.x8664.rpm.html) instead.

I think that it still picks up the libevent.so of libevent 1.4.x (from
the "libevent" package). When we installed the CentOS box for building
the RPM, we've finally built libevent 2.0.x from source (with the
libevent/libevent-devel packages removed in advance).

Good to know. Is pbone.net a trusted source for RPM packages? All those
banners didn't make a very reputable impression to me at first glance.

I usually use Debian based OS so I really don't know if pbone.net is a trusted rpm source. But it is also mentioned in the official Fedora documentation as a useful source for RPMs [1]. I think/hope that they wouldn't recommend this site if its not trustworthy ;-) But if you want to be on the safe side you should built it from the source.
