That means your distribution isn't providing a patched mysql to build
mysqld as a shared library. Upstream has yet to apply the patch to do
that in both mysql 5.1 and 5.5 series.

I'd argue the problem is that mysql, although using cmake for the 5.5
series, still doesn't provide a "cmake friendly" configuration file /
tool to provide the same information as mysql_config.
