Version details: 1.3.3
Distribution/Version: Yellow Dog Linux 4.0.1

mysql-4.1.12: <mysql.h> contains the function prototype

     void STDCALL mysql_debug(const char *debug)

The compiler flag, -Ddebug=1, results in a macro substituion:

     void STDCALL mysql_debug(const char *1)

which causes gcc [3.3, 3.4.1, 4.1] to choke.

A quick and dangerous workaround:

     Alter the function signature in <mysql.h>.

For example,

     void STDCALL mysql_debug (const char * mysqldebug) 

A better solution is to modify the name of the compiler substitution MACRO to
something unique to libgda, say, -DGDA_DEBUG=1
