I've removed R-sig-db. PLEASE don't cross-post, not least because the
R-sig-db moderator (me) ends up having to approve all the
non-subscribed replies such as Duncan's.

For x64, you need (or at least, it is more correct to use)
x86_64-w64-mingw32-objdump. But I think he has pretty much told us
that it is a 32-bit DLL. To install RMySQL on x64 Windows you need
the 64-bit client DLLs. The standard MySQL installers do not allow
you to install 32-bit and 64-bit MySQL on the same machine, but once
you manage that, 32bit RMySQL can talk to a 64-bit MySQL server, and
v.v.
BTW, the underscore convention does not matter for DLLs, only object
files (.o, .a).
This does all work (I passed patches back to the maintainer so that it
does). I do have a bi-arch Windows install of RMySQL on my machine
talking to a 64-bit MySQL server. But we've had far too much
frustration with (even very minor) MySQL version mismatches to even
think about distributing such a build.

But you failed to tell us the 'at a minimum' information we asked for
about either version of R. If that was i386 R, then yes, your MySQL
is 32-bit.
