MySQL 5.0.21 Universal Binary vs OS X (multiple definitions of symbol)

[Scott Meyers]

I've encountered a problem which I believe is with the latest Mac OS Universal Binary. When attempting to build PHP I get a number of "multiple definitions of symbol" which pair libmysqlclient.a against native gcc libraries. A selection of the error stream is as follows:

...
.bundle libs/libphp5.so
/usr/bin/ld: multiple definitions of symbol _BN_bin2bn
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/../../../libcrypto.dylib(bn_lib.o) definition of _BN_bin2bn

...

It goes on for awhile like this.

I'm (attempting to) compile on a MBP with the latest version of Xcode and apple developer tools. I'm not sure if anything changed in the last developer update, but that could be the culprit.

I was able compile MySQL myself and then successfully build PHP against that, but I'd feel more confident if I could build against the official binary.
