Ok, I'll give this a shot.

I'll set this as well.

We don't set configdir in our build.  Nor do we use debian's builds. ;)  We 
build our own SASL & Postfix.  Simply reverting to 2.1.23 with the same 
build flags to cyrus-sasl configure works.

I don't think so. I forced the libdir to be lib so it is consistent on all 
platforms:

--with-lib-subdir=lib
