It really shouldn't. Are you sure you typed it correctly?

Here's the exact line I'm using on Solaris:

$ ./configure --without-mysql && make

You could also try "make distclean" or remove and re-extract the source
tree...

just removing the parameters everywhere they appear is all you need.

You can also run this:
$ cd plugins
$ mv Makefile Makefile.orig
$ cat Makefile.orig | \
sed 's/-xstrconst//g' | \
sed 's/-mt//g' >Makefile

(that last line is split to avoid line-wrapping; make sure theses no
space before the backslashes (\) or join the part together by removing
them.)

Then return to the root directory of the source tree and build it again
(no need to "make clean"):

$ cd ..
$ make

Simply because we use "mysql_config --cflags" to get the C flags, and on
Solaris it contains options that only Sun CC understands (because MySQL
is compiled with Sun CC). On most systems MySQL is compiled with GCC
(this is also the case of the official MySQL binaries) so this isn't a
problem in over 99% or the cases.
