The berkdb macros in cmulocal/berkdb.m4 tries to find the installed
berkeley include files and libraries but they are just too painful and
error prone. I had reports of imapd crashes because of include/lib
mismatches.
In a properly installed system, we should be building by
including <db.h> and by linking with -ldb and not go through all the
hoops in berkdb.m4. The following patch wrt cyrus-imapd-2.5.4 works for
me.
