Workaround is to use for ./configure:
    CXXLDFLAGS="-lstdc++"

See also Bug 5534.

How to repeat:
Install Fedora Core 3 (possibly with updates up to 2004-11-23).

rpmbuild -bb mysql-4.1.7.spec

Handle correctly the failed workarounds below:

  # If you are using 'gcc' 3.0 (not g++) to compile C++ programs on Linux,
  # we will gets some problems when linking static programs.
  # The following code is used to fix this problem.
