libimap and libsieve have to depend on libcom_err.a whenever the bundled
libcom_err.a is used, so that the bundled libcom_err.a is build before
libimap and libsieve are linked.
Sure, I see why you did it.
Any ideas how to achieve this, that
are different from what I did?
Use a single variable, which is set by in the configure script and
appended to in one branch of the conditional (the other branch being
empty).
I did now so.

I moved "-lcyrus -lcyrus_min" in Makefile.PL.in from MYEXTLIB to
OTHERLDFLAGS, so that the target subdirs does not depend anymore on
"-lcyrus -lcyrus_min". Please try with the uploaded fix. (I can
understand why you got this error, but I do not get it.)
Ok, that builds and installs now :) One more problem: the installed
IMAP.so and managesieve.so depend on the Cyrus libraries but do not have
a runtime library path which will find them in the case where --prefix
!= /usr. The libtool-linked executables installed into bindir do have
that.

Pass --prefix to ./configure .
I am.
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr/cyrus --with-cyrus-prefix=/usr/cyrus
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-idled --enable-nntp --enable-murder
--enable-replication --enable-unit-tests --without-snmp
I mean, pass --prefix to ./configure in such a way, that DESTDIR gets
useless (./configure --prefix=/home/gnb/software/cyrus/inst/usr/cyrus) .
The resulting binaries have to be aware
where the shared libraries are (when the shared libraries are not on
standard locations) and probably using make install DESTDIR= with
libtool is either wrong or implemented/handled wrong in Automake/libtool.
Well, that sucks.
Why do not you use ./configure --prefix=$(DESTDIR), so that make
install DESTDIR=somewhere is not necessary? To my understanding
installing in DESTDIR is used to create packages, not to run programs
from there, so under this condition programmes and libraries installed
in DESTDIR do not have to create (relative) paths to other libraries
in DESTDIR, but to the place, where the libraries are supposed to be
after installation (without DESTDIR).
