It's possible.  It may be especially problematic if you build MySQL++ 
dynamically against the MySQL C API library, and then statically link to 
it when building your program.

Why are you trying to link to a static version of the MySQL C API 
library anyway?

P.S., I've replied to the mailing list.  Please keep this sort of 
discussion there.
