[csw-maintainers] MySQL built with GCC → mysql config vs bindings

[Jonathan Craig]

This issue also affects language packages such as perl, ruby, etc., where
end users may wish to compile libraries not supplied by OpenCSW.  With
studio based packages they must establish an environment to support this
and we are unable to make this easy on them by providing an OpenCSW
packaging of studio.  We can and do provide gcc and this makes gcc a better
choice for these types of packages.
