Here's a classic from the "How Redhat made Cyrus SASL even more complicated
when you thought nobody could..." list:

RH ships with 2 (!) different versions of Cyrus SASL: Cyrus-SASL.1.x and
Cyrus-SASL.2.x files are mixed on your machine.

This also includes the sasl.h helper file - it's located two times on RH
machines (prior to FC5).

Chances are, the Postfix build process was fed the sasl.h for Cyrus-SASL.1.x
while you wanted to gain SASL2 support (and therefore needed sasl.h for
Cyrus-SASL.2.x).

Check the sasl.h files for their version number. Open the file and look for
something like this:

#define SASL_VERSION_MAJOR 1
#define SASL_VERSION_MINOR 5
#define SASL_VERSION_STEP 28

If you have a sasl.h with a major version number of 1, rename the file so the
Postfix build process won't stumble over it. Then "make tidy" and run your
make CCFLAGS... statement again.
