>Description:
Unable to compile a binary for mysql-3.23.38.
>How-To-Repeat:
Downloaded mysql-3.23.38.tar.gz. Used gunzip, then gtar to
uncompress. No errors indicated.
Used the command from the mysql instruction manual:
CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions
-fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --enable-assembler
--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static
All went well for a quite a while. The last messages from the install
command to the screen were:

configure: error: No size for char type.
A likely cause for this could be that there isn't any
static libraries installed. You can verify this by checking if you have
libm.a
in /lib, /usr/lib or some other standard place. If this is the problem,
install the static libraries and try again. If this isn't the problem,
examine config.log for possible errors. If you want to report this, use
'scripts/mysqlbug' and include at least the last 20 rows from config.log!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that there is a libm.a file in /usr/lib and in /lib with permission
setting of -rw-r--r--, userid bin, groupid bin.

The last part of the conf.log is:
