this is unrelated but possibly you'd have an easier time with the
--enable-gio option.

according to these pages:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/precise/ure
http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/precise/libstlport4.6ldbl

if you have installed the distro LibreOffice package you will have the
file /usr/lib/libstlport_gcc.so.4.6 installed, which is what the binary
MySQL connector needs, and which is no longer included in LibreOffice
4.0 upstream releases (and likely will be removed from Linux distros in
the future, since nobody other than LibreOffice needs it).
