Right now it's:
db4-4.0.14-20
db4-utils-4.0.14-20
db4-devel-4.0.14-20

But I should point the same error happened with the nonptl
version.

I just tried to download db4.2 from sleepycat web and I
installed it in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB4.2. Then I tried
to configure cyrus-imapd again:

# ./configure --with-bdb-libdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/ 
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/

with the same results:
checking for db.h... yes
checking for db_create in -ldb-4.2... no
checking for db_create in -ldb4.2... no
..
checking for db_create in -ldb... no
checking for db_open in -ldb... no

So it looks like there is really something wrong here.
I just made sure again I have the latest patches with:
yum update.

What else can I try ?
