Description:
mysql_config shipped with the MySQL-devel-5.6.8_rc-1.el6.x86_64 package reports a wrong library path.

How to repeat:
$ mysql_config --libs
-L/usr/lib64 -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lm -lrt -ldl

$ rpm -ql MySQL-devel|grep libmysqlcl
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.a
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.a

Discussed with Terje Røsten today.
The "-L..." output is irrelevant anyways for RPM packages.
The solutions is remove it from the output of mysql_config.
