Axel, please let us know whether one of these works: 
"SQL_LIBS=-lmysqlclient or AUTH_LIBS=-lmysqlclient or 
MYSQL_LIBS=-lmysqlclient".

Since Dovecot 1.x all the way up to 2.1.10 I had trouble with this and 
only by putting -lmysqlclient in LDFLAGS as described before Dovecot 
compiles without error (Ubuntu Server 8.04 & 10.04, mySQL in a 
non-standart location).
