I suppose you aren't doing anything wrong, but the configure script for
mysql doesn't have safe fallbacks for cross-compilation (cross
compilation is the process of using the toolchain on an arch to build
the thing to other arch).

There is a gumstix cluster online (there will be at least three, I'll
build one of them but I'm late) but I don't think it's ready yet,
otherwise you could compile it natively.

Sorry if my answer is not exactly help, I can try to look at it when I
have a few moments...
