the missing net_buffer_lengh symbol normally means that the mysql 
libraries cannot be found; however, I vaguely remember a problem with the 
later 4.1.x servers when MYSQL_CLIENT is not defined. So if you can build 
DBD::mysql against an older mysql, you might want to try looking at adding a 
-DMYSQL_CLIENT(sp) to the Makefile (or makefile.pl) otherwise look into making 
sure that DBD::mysql can find the mysql libraries. 

And of course, I would like to know what the solution ended up being so that I 
can change Makefile.PL if needed.
