Description:
MySQL 5.7.6 has restricted list of exported symbols to CAPI definition, there might be other changes
in MySQL 5.7 as well.

Connector/ODBC seems to use functions outside define MySQL CAPI and can't be built any more.

How to repeat:
Install MySQL 5.7.6 or newer on Linux and try to build Connector/ODBC against shipped libmysqlclient.so.20
and headers files.

Suggested fix:
Adapt Connector/ODBC to work with MySQL 5.7 libs and headers.

Added the following entry to the C/ODBC 5.3.6 changelog:

"Attempt to build Connector/ODBC from source on a Linux platform against the client library and header files shipped with MySQL server 5.7.6 or newer failed. It was due to the changes made to the client library and the header files, to which Connector/ODBC has now been adapted."
