You have a point of which i wasn't aware.

mysqlnd is not yet default from php.net side but SuSE has chosen to do
so. Now there is one consequence: If mysqlnd is used it will be built
statically in PHP, even on Unix, even if the other MySQL modules are
built shared. This can be fixed by adding a specific configuration
option to enforce mysqlnd being build as its own shared .so, too.

Doing this will add a small dependency issue as one has to ensure to
load mysqlnd first, then the other MySQL extensions. I think all
distributions are using a single mysql.ini file to activate all MySQL
extensions they would be able to list mysqlnd first in there and be
done.
