Description:
The library location reported by mysql_config --libs is wrong, it says /usr/lib but should be /usr/lib64

How to repeat:
[akojima@gui-srva mysql-gui-common]$ rpm -ql MySQL-devel|grep libmysql
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.a
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.la
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.a
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.la

[akojima@gui-srva mysql-gui-common]$ /usr/bin/mysql_config
Usage: /usr/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
        --cflags         [-I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe]
        --include        [-I/usr/include/mysql]
        --libs           [-L/usr/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm]
        --libs_r         [-L/usr/lib -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
        --socket         [/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock]
        --port           [3306]
        --version        [5.0.16]
        --libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/lib -lmysqld -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]

Suggested fix:
The following code in mysql_config:
pkglibdir='/usr/lib64/mysql'
fix_path pkglibdir lib/mysql lib

could be conditionally (on x86_64) replaced with:
pkglibdir='/usr/lib64/mysql'
fix_path pkglibdir lib64/mysql lib

I was able to reproduce this under FC4 X64/recent 5.0bk pull
