I would first suggest trying a newer compiler, or switching to GCC. 
MySQL++ has a way of pushing compilers to their limits: there are many 
C++ compilers that claim to comply with the standard, but which do not 
in fact support the entire language.  MySQL++ uses more features in the 
language than most other C++ libraries.

You might also install all of the current autotools on your system 
(autoconf, automake, libtool...), and then run the bootstrap script. 
It's possible -- though unlikely -- that there are linkage fixes in 
these tools that aren't in the distributed versions of MySQL++ that are 
in current autotools.

Finally, and this is a long shot, I'd try MySQL++ 2.1.  If anything, 
though, this is a step backwards relative to the linkage issues.  The 
only reason it might improve things is that the new build system is a 
lot less clever than the old one, so it might work by virtue of not 
pushing your development tools in a direction they don't want to go. 
That said, moving to MySQL++ 2.1 is a good idea anyway, because we're 
just not going back to the autotools.  Bakefile solves a real problem 
for us, so if I make any change here at all, it's to another similar 
tool.  I'm not going to regress on this front.
