Configure is telling you that it's unable to link a trivial program to 
your C API library.  Therefore, your C API library is questionable.

Do you have a good reason for using a nonstandard version of MySQL? 
(It's clear you're not just installing a pre-built version here.)

ld is skipping it, not configure.

One cannot make further guesses without knowing details of your toolchain.
