Yes, Red Hat *is* broken.

Uninstall snmp package, autoconfigure from cyrus-imapd will find this
libraries, and include support for snmp. This libraries are somehow
linked with rpm libraries (!?). Just hide or temporary deinstall
snmp-devel and snmp (rpm -qa | grep snmp - don't remember full name of
package) and rerun ./configure (remove config.cache before, or
extract source again). Maybe you can add --without-snmp to
cyrus-imapd, but it's safer ti just remove/hide snmp from RedHat.
Another error during compilation will be previous declaration of some
extern char from malloc.h (or stdio.h?). Just somment out that line in
cyru code and rerun make.
Sorry, this are nasty workarounds, but I don't know better. :-(
