SuSE builds PHP with --with-mysql=shared,mysqlnd. IMHO php-mysql is
suggested when you install php package. It is not required.

Debian, Mandriva and Fedora build PHP with '--with-mysql=shared,/usr
--with-mysqli=shared,/usr/bin/mysql_config'. You haven't checked
Mandriva's PHP build and assumed that it is the same as on SuSE.

You can always check ./configure options in their source packages. Mysqlnd
is new PHP feature and Linuxes used 'shared,/usr' for ages.
