I guess you're running into the following issue.

| Q: I can't compile check_mysql on solaris
|
| A: If you are using GCC and your MySQL version was compiled using Sun's
|    C compiler (or the other way round), then it is likely that the
|    configure options will fail as configure will run mysql_config to get
|    the appropriate CFLAGS.
|
|    There are various options:
|
|    * Disable check_mysql by running ./configure --without-mysql
|    * Allow ./configure to finish, but manually amend plugins/Makefile
|      and remove any non-GCC flags in MYSQLCFLAGS
|    * Use Sun's C compiler to compile the plugins
|    * Use a GCC compiled version of MySQL
