I've been luckier: I just had to look at a single source rpm (but that's 
because I asked and someone told me which one was the right one ;-)
Attached is the patch that I had to apply to build under mandrake 9.0 
but *not* under 8.2 (the former comes with perl 5.8.0 while the latter 
uses 5.6.1). OTOH on 8.2 I have to manually install the perl manpages in 
the spec file. I'm not sure the patch should go upstream since it's 
distribution policy (or is it perl policy since 5.8.0? I don't know)
If you look at the spec file, posted at 
http://perso.wanadoo.es/olivetti/cyrus/cyrus-imapd.spec, you'll see that 
there are other hacks to build with gcc 3.2 (mainly to remove 
/usr/local/include in order to avoide configure failures).
