How to repeat:
Compile a c++ program including

#include <my_global.h>
#include <mysql.h>

Suggested fix:
The problem is coming from my_config.h which defines HAVE_ULONG

/* #undef SIZEOF_UCHAR */
/* #undef HAVE_UCHAR */
#define SIZEOF_UINT 4
#define HAVE_UINT 1
#define SIZEOF_ULONG 4
#define HAVE_ULONG 1
/* #undef SIZEOF_INT8 */
/* #undef HAVE_INT8 */
/* #undef SIZEOF_UINT8 */
/* #undef HAVE_UINT8 */
/* #undef SIZEOF_INT16 */
/* #undef HAVE_INT16 */

and in my_global.h
#if !defined(HAVE_ULONG) && !defined(__USE_MISC)
typedef unsigned long   ulong;            /* Short for unsigned long */
#endif
