See this output:

```
$ mysql_config
Usage: /usr/local/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
        --cflags         [-I/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.10/include ]
        --cxxflags       [-I/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.10/include ]
        --include        [-I/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.10/include]
        --libs           [-L/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.10/lib -l ]
        --libs_r         [-L/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.10/lib -l ]
        --plugindir      [/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.10/lib/plugin]
        --socket         [/tmp/mysql.sock]
        --port           [0]
        --version        [6.1.10]
        --variable=VAR   VAR is one of:
                pkgincludedir [/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.10/include]
                pkglibdir     [/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.10/lib]
                plugindir     [/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.10/lib/plugin]
```

`--libs` and `--libs_r` should have ` -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto`, but it only have `-l`.

How to repeat:
1. Install MySQL Connector/C 6.1.10
2. run mysql_config
