I have now confirmed the behavior on another box, so it is not simply a
broken box as far as I can tell.

/etc/ld.so.conf does indeed have /usr/lib/mysql listed.  

Running ldconfig -v confirms that it finds that directory and is creating
the links and the cache.  

Still ld -lmysqlclient gives "cannot find -lmysqlclient" (unless the symlink
is put in place).
