Description:
Linking against libmysqld.a requires -lssl as a linker flag to avoid tons of SSL specific linker errors.

/usr/local/mysql-4.1-nodebug//lib/mysql/libmysqld.a(client.o): In function `mysql_ssl_free':
/home/hartmut/projects/mysql/dev/4.1/libmysqld/client.c:1501: undefined reference to `SSL_CTX_free'
/usr/local/mysql-4.1-nodebug//lib/mysql/libmysqld.a(libvio_viosslfactories.o): In function `vio_set_cert_stuff':
/home/hartmut/projects/mysql/dev/4.1/vio/viosslfactories.c:87: undefined reference to `SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file'
[...]

How to repeat:
Try to compile the attached test project against MySQL 4.1,
just doing a 

  configure --with-mysql=... ; make

fails with SSL specific linker errors

  LIBS=-lssl configure --with-mysql=... ; make

works (unless you run into bug #4921)

Suggested fix:
Add -lssl to the "mysql_config --libmysqld-libs" output

This seems to be a regression of bug #5396
[23 Jul 2006 10:39] Hartmut Holzgraefe 
Probably re-introduced in rev. 1.20 of scripts/mysql_config.sh

Noted in 5.1.12 changelog.

mysql_config --libmysqld-libs did not produce any SSL options necessary for linking libmysqld with SSL support enabled.

Resetting report to NDI pending merge into 5.0.
