mysql compile error with GCC 4.3.2: error: macro "min" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2

[Markus Neteler]

I have updated to Mandriva 2009.1 and can no longer compile the mysql driver:

[Even Rouault]

Yes, reproduced. my_global.h declares the min(a,b) and max(a,b) macros (bad idea), and an header file from g++-4.3.2 declares a min(a,b,c) in a template...

Fixed in trunk (r16921) and branches/1.6 (r16922)
