You're telling IMAP to look for libsasl2 in /usr/local/cyrus
    --with-sasl=/usr/local/cyrus

Unfortunately, you're building SASL differently, so it probably thinks it's going
to the /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib directory. You might try adding this to your
SASL build options:

    --with-sasl=/usr/local/cyrus

If you're using the sasl auth mech plugins in some way...
    --with-plugindir=/usr/local/cyrus/sasl2

and make sure you have links from /usr/lib/sasl and /usr/lib/sasl2 to the plugin
directory prior to compiling the other stuff (IMAP sendmail etc).

Also, I'm not sure how/if the use of different BDB versions will affect things but
for sanity/simplicity, I'd try using the same version on both SASL and IMAP just
to get things working correctly and then try using the two different versions.

I hope this helps,
