Indeed, this is in README as well.

I personally always use the mysql.com RPMs; they seem to always come
with the thread-safe libraries, and MySQL-shared has the shared
libraries. My build environment is Red Hat 7.3 i386 with the mysql.com
RPMs and gcc-2.96-x (stock Red Hat). I think the mysql.com RPMs are
compiled with gcc3 nowadays, so I might switch to that. But I'm adverse
to building RPMs for test releases.

For some reason, the mysql.com RPMs do not come with libmysqld, which
you can use instead of libmysqlclient(_r) for the embedded server, so I
haven't really taken the time to implement this (apparently it's
trivial, but without the library, I can't test things).=20
