Trying to compile MySQL 4.1.13 on Mac OS X 10.4.2
gcc_select show gcc 4.0.0:

How to repeat:
Use source distribution mysql-4.1.13.tar.gz

$ tar xfvz mysql-4.1.13.tar.gz
$ cd mysql-4.1.13
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
$ make

Build fails.

Suggested fix:
None known yet.

Thanks for your bug report.

I was able to reproduce this bug using 10.4.2 and gcc4

A work-around is to use the Installer Package for Mac OS X 10.3, which seems to work under 10.4.2.

I'm experiencing the EXACT same failure with the 5.0.10 source code.  I'm compiling with GCC 4.0.1 and GNUbinutils 2.16 on Solaris 10 x86 (32-bit).

the problem with ctr0 appears to stem from the use of the -static option. I got rid of that and it succeeds, albeit with some warning:

ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _qsort
../mysys/libmysys.a(mf_qsort.o) definition of _qsort in section (__TEXT,__text)
/usr/lib/libm.dylib(qsort.So) definition of _qsort

gcc_select 
Current default compiler:
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1640)

ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.3.9
BuildVersion:   7W98

forgot: mysql-5.0.15

Solution, at least for the configuration above, seems to be to remove --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static from the configure options. For instance instead of:

CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors \
            -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --enable-assembler \
            --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static

use

CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors \
            -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure \
            --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --enable-assembler

Note that you had two changes in your last attempt:
1) Dropping "static"
2) Changing the compiler/linker front-end (for C++) from "g++" to "gcc".

All MySQL release builds (which use "gcc") are done using "gcc" even for C++, not "g++".
This does not have effects on the individual object module, but it changes the default
library list at link time.
In this way, the accidental of expensive C++ runtime functions is avoided.

I propose you add "CXX=gcc" to any "configure" call you use for MySQL builds.

Build works on Mac OS X 10.4, MySQL 5.0.19 and
"gcc version 4.0.0 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5026)"

  tar -xzf mysql-5.0.19.tar.gz
  cd mysql-5.0.19
  export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
  make

the problem seems to affect only intel boxes... at least I get the same problem on my mac mini as well, while ppl on ppc dont
