You could just try symlinking  what you have under the name ruby expects:

ln -s /whereever/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.whatever /usr/local/mysql-4.0.14/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.12.dylib

? Might work, might segfault.

(yeah, it's a hack. but if i wanted to spend all day dicking about
with LDFLAGS and configure, I'd be a systems programmer.)
