Description:
Compiling and starting mysql-4.1.7 this way:
========
# env CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=pentiumpro" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=pentiumpro
-felide-constructors" ./configure --prefix=/tmp/mysql --with-extra-charsets=complex
--enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile --enable-assembler
--with-charset=latin1 --with-collation=latin1_german1_ci
# make
# make install
# scripts/mysql_install_db
# /tmp/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe &
========

returns, when asking for the collation_connection:

========
# /tmp/mysql/bin/mysql -uroot
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 4.1.7

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'coll%';
+----------------------+-------------------+
| Variable_name        | Value             |
+----------------------+-------------------+
| collation_connection | latin1_swedish_ci |
| collation_database   | latin1_german1_ci |
| collation_server     | latin1_german1_ci |
+----------------------+-------------------+
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)

========

To my understanding it should give 'collation_connection=latin1_german1_ci' and there
seems to be no way (except in using SQL-statements inside the connection) to change this
default behaviour!?

How to repeat:
See above.

Iam using deb packages.
I cant set any collation variables in my.cnf:
Where and how can set these?
OS: debian
MYSQL: 4.1.11

  Bug#7192 Specify --with-collation doesn't work for connections?
  --with-collation worked only on the server side.
  Client side ignored this argument, so collation_connection
  was not properly set (remained latin1_swedish_ci).
