Are you building imapd-2.1.12? If so, replace the top-level configure.in 
with the latest mainline version (currently 1.259) from CVS:

 http://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/cyrus/configure.in

Obviously you'll need to reconfigure after this. If this doesn't help, can 
you please post some more details about your configuration?
