I finally figured out how to get cyrus-imapd linked up with my 4.1.25 on RedHat
9. You need to add "-lpthread" to LDFLAGS (and export it to the environment)
before running the configure script.

I don't know who's job it should be to figure out that additional linker
flag...the addition of nptl in RedHat 9 is turning out to be really problematic
thus far.
