Eric,

If you are encountering this only in the mysql driver, I would imagine
the issue is a conflict between mysql include files and c++ stl include
files with regard to the definition of swap.  I just searched my client
mysql library and they define swap_variable, but not swap.  Perhaps an
older version of the mysql client sdk on your system uses swap() instead?

There is no reason to believe this is a GDAL problem from the report I
see.

Best regards,
