Compiling Cyrus IMAPD on AMD Opteron

[Patrick Morris]

Unfortunately, you've snipped the part that would show what's really 
broken: the compilation of libcyrus.a.  It looks like Perl on that 
system is misconfigured, and didn't compile libcyrus.a with the -fPIC 
option needed to link it into a shared library.
