The one thing to keep in mind with dropping it into the Asterisk source 
tree, is that is only going to work if the module has no dependencies. 
In this case, the module depends on mysql.  So, at a minimum, you would 
need to add something like this to the Asterisk cdr/Makefile:

cdr_mysql.so: ASTCFLAGS+=$(shell mysql_config --cflags)
cdr_mysql.so: LIBS+=$(shell mysql_config --libs)

Note that without this, the failure would be a run-time, not compile-time.
