This still fails to build for me.  The build problem comes from the configure
script only checking for /usr/lib/mysql/ibmysqlclient.*, when on x86_64 the
libraries are in /usr/lib64/mysql.

Unfortunately due to complete brokenness of the configure script, it is not
possible to pass anything which will make it look in the proper location.  It
will check the following directories:
  what you pass to --with-mysql
  /usr
  /usr/local
  /usr/local/mysql
  /opt/local
  /opt/local/mysql
for the following files:
  lib/mysqlclient.so
  lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
  lib/libmysqlclient.a
  lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a
so no matter what you pass, it will never look in /usr/lib64/mysql.

Your only options are to patch the configure script, or to impress upon upstream
the need to fix this and wait for them to do so.
