[debian-mysql] Bug#597187: libmysqlclient-dev: -fno-strict-aliasing in mysql_config --cflags

[Julian Taylor]

Package: libmysqlclient-dev
Severity: normal

mysql_config --cflags outputs the -fno-strict-aliasing flag.
As users of this library may not want to use this flag in their projects
the headers should be fixed and the flag removed from mysql_config.

The inclusion of the flag seems to be related to mysql being built with
-fno-strict-aliasing. Building without it also removes the flag from mysql_config.
So it may be the case that it is not required for the headers at all.
