Thanks for looking into this.  The proposed solution is really a hack on
top of a hack.  It will work for your particular case, but it isn't going
to work for everyone.  It looks like the problem originates with the output
from apxs, a hack to workaround that and people having compiled Apache
with options like MySQL natively (like yourself).

The mod_jk build runs apxs to find out the link paths it should use.  On
my machine that looks like this:

> apxs -q LDFLAGS
-pthread -rpath=/usr/lib /usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib

Which looks odd.  At least some of it (e.g. the naked /usr/local/lib entry
in the middle of it) looks bogus.  On your machine I suspect it looks
something like this:

-pthread -rpath=/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib/mysql /usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib

If you look at patch-tomcat-connectors-src:native:configure in the mod_jk
port, it tries to fix this, but sloppily, by replacing the first instance of
/usr/local/lib in the line with -L/usr/local/lib.  In my case that will
work.  In your case you'll end up with

-rpath=/usr/lib -L-L/usr/local/lib/mysql /usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib

after the substitution and the build will fail.  It seems like a better
patch would be to remove the raw /usr/local/lib, since there is already a
-L/usr/local/lib present.  That's still somewhat sloppy as it should really
be ${LOCALBASE} rather than hardcoded to /usr/local.

All that comes with the caveat that its been a long time since I played
with Apache very much.
