That's a good practice, let you isolate the environment. > You may have noticed that I also added the path to my xampp > installation to the PATH global variable.

To allow extconf.rb build the Makefile properly it need certain things to be available in your environment.

I'm asking this since the first time it executed extconf since it lacks the proper makefile.

The problem is that that the sudoer installation of do_mysql will link to the headers files and libs that are not part of your xampp installation, and will fail. Try to locate where in xampp installation is mysql_config (or mysql_config5) and add it to your $PATH, in that way, do_mysql will use it instead of requiring you supply the configure options every time.
