Obviously, the GCC command line includes "-xstrconst", which is a Sun
cc(1) option.  I guess this happens because your MySQL package was built
using Sun's compiler, so that the output "mysql_config --cflags", which
is added to the compiler flags for check_mysql, includes this flag.  The
quick`n'dirty solution would be to remove all occurences of "-xstrconst"
from the Makefile(s) and re-run make.  Or, use Sun's compiler (it's
free), which I'd prefer over GCC anyway :-)
