Wouldn't it be best to rebuild Perl with libc_r either?

Then, another question: Is important for you, to have a thread
safe client? I think it isdn't, at least not in Perl, which
isn't thread safe anyways. How about rebuilding the MySQL client
libraries (not the server!) witt libc, storing it in a special
directory and trying to link against these libraries?

P.S: About your change in the Makefile: Can you tell me the
output of
strings /usr/bin/perl | grep libc
strings /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a | grep libc
strings /usr/bin/mysql | grep libc
