To come around those errors:
libmysql.c:1329: warning: passing arg 5 of `gethostbyname_r\’ from incompatible pointer type
libmysql.c:1329: too few arguments to function `gethostbyname_r\’
libmysql.c:1329: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
make[2]: *** [libmysql.lo] Error 1
… I had to edit config.h like this:
/* Solaris define gethostbyname_r with 5 arguments. glibc2 defines
this with 6 arguments */
/* #undef HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_GLIBC2_STYLE */
#define HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_GLIBC2_STYLE 1
It is mainly a gcc problem, but I found [1] no other way round; until that:
me:~# apt-get install g++-2.95

After probably an hour of compilation it results in this; which is quite positive:
me:/usr/local/src/archives/mysql-4.1.0-alpha# mysql -V
mysql Ver 13.5 Distrib 4.1.0-alpha, for unknown-linux (powerpc)
