Bug #40364 mysql_config file always showes lmysqlclient_r

Description:
When MySQl-5.0.67 is compiled and installed without the "--enable-thread-safe-client" tag the "mysql_config" file will always show "lmysqlclient_r" insted of "lmysqlclient" breaking some apps built against MySQL that will look for "lmysqlclient_r" first and see that "mysql_config" sayes its here but when building they fail

How to repeat:
Compile mysql without the "--enable-thread-safe-client" tag

Suggested fix:
Compile with the "--enable-thread-safe-client" tag

Thank you for the report.

I can not repeat described behavior:

$/users/ssmirnova/build/mysql-5.0/bin/mysql_config --libs
-rdynamic -L/users/ssmirnova/build/mysql-5.0/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm

Please indicate flags you use when call mysql_config

./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql-5.0-test \
--localstatedir=/var/mysql-5.0-test/data \
--with-mysqld-user=mysql \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr \
--with-tcp-port=3306 \

make
make install

libs=" $ldflags -L$pkglibdir -lmysqlclient -L/usr/lib -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm "
and
libs_r=" $ldflags -L$pkglibdir -lmysqlclient_r -L/usr/lib -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm  -lpthread   "

this tells an app lookink for lmysqlclient_r it exists when in fact it doesn't

Thank you for the feedback.

Got your point. Verified as feature request "Don't add libs_r option to mysql_config if MySQL compiled without --enable-thread-safe-client flag.

Obsolete as the ability to build client libs non-thread-safe has been removed.
