I got this reported by a few users on #amarok @ freenode, as Amarok can use MySQL.

The problem is that mysql_config --libs returns the LDFLAGS used for building in its output, which is wrong, very wrong, as autotools expects only libraries to be passed on _LIBADD for instance.

The attached patch fixes the script in the sources not to export the ldflags in --libs, still exporting it in --ldflags, as I'm afraid it might be required, although broken that, too.

HTH,
Diego

this also breaks gammu - upstream bug about mysql_config misbehaviors, which I filed almost an year ago http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=19900 (ssl thing is now fixed, although I don't know if this is on the gentoo side)
