Description:
mysqladmin.c fails to use MYSQL_PORT as the
default value of the TCP/IP port. This means that
if you run configure with a --with-tcp-port option,
mysqladmin ignores the value.

Here is the option structure from mysqladmin.c:

  {"port", 'P', "Port number to use for connection.", (gptr*) &tcp_port,
   (gptr*) &tcp_port, 0, GET_UINT, REQUIRED_ARG, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},

Compare that with the corresponding option structure
from other clients, such as mysql.cc:

  {"port", 'P', "Port number to use for connection.", (gptr*) &opt_mysql_port,
   (gptr*) &opt_mysql_port, 0, GET_UINT, REQUIRED_ARG, MYSQL_PORT, 0, 0, 0, 0,
   0},

Note the argument following the REQUIRED_ARG in the two cases.

How to repeat:
See above.

The mysqltest.c and thread_test.c files don't use MYSQL_PORT, either.

Suggested fix:
Change the argument following REQUIRED_ARG from
0 to MYSQL_PORT.
