Finally I was able to rebuild it by adding a file called
/etc/rpm/macros.atrpms with the following contents:

%bcond_with()           %{expand:%%{?_with_%{1}:%%global with_%{1} 1}}
%bcond_without()        %{expand:%%{!?_without_%{1}:%%global with_%{1} 1}}
%with()         %{expand:%%{?with_%{1}:1}%%{!?with_%{1}:0}}
%without()      %{expand:%%{?with_%{1}:0}%%{!?with_%{1}:1}}

Then run:

# rpmbuild --without inotify -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/dovecot.spec

Then started dovecot , but encountered an error during startup

[root at mail ~]# /etc/init.d/dovecot start
Starting Dovecot Imap: Error: Error in configuration file
/etc/dovecot.conf line 21: Unknown setting: imap_listen
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf
            [FAILED]

I then changed imap_listen to localhost and * respectively but still
have the same error. I'm lost. :(
