Hm, for some reason libtool doesn't pass dependency libraries when
linking statically. I will have to look into this.

In the meantime, an easy workaround is to configure examples like
this:

./configure --with-database=mysql LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/mysql LIBS=-lmysqlclient_r

Change /usr/lib/mysql to /usr/lib64/mysql in the above command line if
you are using a 64-bit distribution.
