You need to make sure that the gcc on your box is build on that box,
Using a package won't do it, most of them where compiled on greater or
lesser hardware versions than you might be running, This in turn causes
the compiler it self to think that its running in cross-compile mode
and mysql won't allow a cross compile(er) build.
