Description:
Hi,

When trying to embed the server into an application, I got the following error:

/data0/cr_autotest/lib/mysql//libmysqld.a(sql_udf.o)(.text+0xe6b):/data0/acrt-clones/clone-mysql-5.1-telco-6.2-2008-01-22.30353/libmysqld/sql_udf.cc:445: undefined reference to `dlopen'
/data0/cr_autotest/lib/mysql//libmysqld.a(sql_udf.o)(.text+0xe87):/data0/acrt-clones/clone-mysql-5.1-telco-6.2-2008-01-22.30353/libmysqld/sql_udf.cc:449: undefined reference to `dlerror'
/data0/cr_autotest/lib/mysql//libmysqld.a(sql_udf.o)(.text+0x1159): In function `mysql_drop_function(THD*, st_mysql_lex_string const*)':
/data0/acrt-clones/clone-mysql-5.1-telco-6.2-2008-01-22.30353/libmysqld/sql_udf.cc:554: undefined reference to `dlclose'

looking at mysql_config, it does not include the needed -ldl flag.

./mysql_config --libmysqld-libs 
-rdynamic -L/data0/cr_autotest/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt

How to repeat:
Build 5.1 using --with-embedded-server

run  mysql_config --libmysqld-libs

Suggested fix:
mysql_config --libmysqld-libs should also return -ldl when clone has been built using embedded server.

Work around would be to append -ldl to the $LIB make varaible

      Bug#34025: mysql_config is not returning -ldl lib flag needed when using embedded server
      
      mysql_config did not output -ldl (or equivalent) when needed for --libmysqld-libs,
      so its output could be insufficient to build an application using the embedded
      server.
      
      LIBDL was already set in configure; it's now propagated all the way into the
      relevant mysql_config scripts.

This should fix the building of programs using the embedded server
in that sql_udf should no longer give unresolved symbols. You still
can't have UDFs, though. Because

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/libmysqld-restrictions.html

sez you can't. ;)

Noted in 5.1.31, 6.0.9 changelogs.

mysql_config did not output -ldl (or equivalent) when needed for
--libmysqld-libs, so its output could be insufficient to build 
applications that use the embedded server.
