Thank you for the clear explanation.
Yes, I do "make". This is hard to understand for me. I tried many 
things. But it really seems that the LD_PRELOAD or the syslog.so doesn't 
work for me.

I also tried this in my bash shell:
# export 
LD_PRELOAD=/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/cyrus-imapd-3.2.0/cassandane-54270a90fb3fa952510ae8589ed11fac2e1078b7/utils/syslog.so

and the log is only written in /var/log/maillog

I also tried to configure rsyslog to log only on /dev/log socket 
bypassing journald, but it doesn't work yet.

The gcc compile of syslog.c doesn't show errors.

A list of known failing tests for each stable supported version of Cyrus 
IMAP could be very appreciated, but I understand that this could be 
difficult to achieve...

My currently failing and now ignored tests are based on failing tests in 
fedora for 3.0.x, reviewed in my env:

     # This tests coredumping and won't work on a machine where systemd
     # intercepts coredumps, which includes our builders.
     Cassandane::Test::Core

     # Upstream recommends disabling this because it has an internal 
race and
     # will fail randomly. 
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cassandane/issues/17
     Master.sighup_recycling

     # Fails because our Xapian is too old for proper CJK support.  1.5 
will be
     # OK, but it is not yet released.  The alternative is to bundle.
     SearchFuzzy.cjk_words

     # Can't currently be run at build time because of compiled-in 
paths.  See
     # https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/2386
     Admin.imap_admins

     # This fail on 3.2.0
     # https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/2332
     Caldav.supports_event

     # Fail on Cyrus 3.2.0
     Rename.rename_inbox

     # https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/2087
     ImapTest.append-binary
     ImapTest.fetch-binary-mime
     ImapTest.urlauth-binary

     # This one seems to fail randomly on fedora, but in my env always 
seems to be successful.
     ImapTest.urlauth2


Thank you very much
Cheers
