Ahh, I didn't read your first email well enough. If you configure the
build so that those libraries are linked, then they will be needed at
runtime. I'm not aware of a way to disable functionality in binary
based on what runtime libs are available, but would be willing to make
that work with Cyrus is possible (pull requests welcome).

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the explanation, though my question was a bit of another
scope. Please, let me reformulate it.
If we use all these elements during build time, i.e. cyrus-imapd becomes
compiled with all of them (when using --enable-http), then... will all
of them be also required (as OS packages) during runtime or we can avoid
installing some of them on the systems where the cyrus-imapd package
would be running?
In other words which of them do not constitute runtime dependencies once
they were used as build-time dependencies?
If all of them are used as shared libraries or some executables invoked
by some component of cyrus-imapd, then I guess all of them would be
required during runtime.
If some of them are only used for building the executables or linked as
static libs, then they should not be needed during runtime, I guess, but
I'm not sure if there are any.
Thanks,
Anatoli

Cyrus developers,
I couldn't find in the documentation the *run-time* dependencies for
cyrus-imapd.
In particular, are any of these not required to be present for the
correct execution of cyrus-imapd (with --enable-http)?
pcre e2fsprogs/uuid jansson sqlite3 icu4c libical nghttpd2 brotli wslay
pcre is NOT required for httpd at all as far as I recall
nghttpd2, brotli, wslay are entirely OPTIONAL
sqlite3 is required if you want to use any DAV functionality
libical is required if you want to use CalDAV
icu4c is required if libical was compiled with support for non-Gregorian
calendars
jansson is definitely required for JMAP functionality, and may be required for
other modules
uuid may be prevasive enough to be required for multiple modules
