Heh, I've been there myself (though not with MySQL) ;)

Interesting...I guess SuSE hacked in something that MySQL's 
./configure can't quite grok.  Oh well, no big deal.

Ok, after you do the ./configure for mysql, edit config.h and 
search for a line containing HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_GLIBC2_STYLE.  
Make sure that line says "#define 
HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_GLIBC2_STYLE 1", save the file, and then 
try to do a make.
