Look here:

specifically at -march=i586. MySQLdb sets CFLAGS which aren't applicable to
your processor, and as such the compile barfs. You should probably just run
it with something like

CFLAGS="-march=athlon-64" python setup.py build

I am positive that MySQLdb works on AMD64, I have it running there. Anyway,
the CFLAGS fix should work.
