Fedora has carried a (much smaller) patch forever which reorders the bdb
detection in cmulocal/berkdb.m4.
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/cyrus-imapd.git/tree/cyrus-imapd-2.3.12p2-current-db.patch

It is annoying to have to do this, but then 3.0 won't use bdb at all so
it shouldn't be an issue much longer.
