A little update on that one.

The manpage for mysql_config clearly states that --libmysqld-libs is a
supported option: https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/10.3/man/mysql_config.1
(yes, Debian has the very same man page)

However, the /usr/bin/mysql_config executable in libmariadb-dev-compat differs
from the upstream mysql_config.sh script:
https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/10.3/scripts/mysql_config.sh

Looking further, the mysql_config binary is actually a symlink to mariadb_config:
https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/10.3/debian/libmariadb-dev-compat.links

And mariadb_config does not support the requested option:
https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-c/blob/10.3/mariadb_config/mariadb_config.c.in

I think it would make sense to report this upstream and replace the symlink
with the shell script.
