The message is likely coming from the .init section in libsasl.so.3.0.0

$ readelf -a /usr/lib64/libsasl2.so.3.0.0
...
  [ 9] .init             PROGBITS         0000000000004268  00004268

  [10] .plt              PROGBITS         0000000000004290  00004290
       00000000000008d0  0000000000000010  AX       0     0     16
  [11] .text             PROGBITS         0000000000004b60  00004b60

So specifiying --without-sasl when building is the only (well you could configure/install sasl
correctly before executing rpm too) way to remove the syslog'd message.

Note that adding --with-java when building RPM  links to a library with .init/.fini sections.
