 You'll have to tell the configure script to look for mysql_config in
the staging directory.  See for instance how fontconfig.mk tells its
configure to use the freetype-config from the staging directory.

 ... except that the xbmc people don't seem to know how to write
a configure.ac.  You can't properly override the MYSQL_CONFIG
variable.  You'll have to fix configure.ac :-(

 The alternative would be to let mysql_client.mk install mysql_config
in some new target-config-bin directory that is prepended to the path
for target builds.  But that's also a lot of work.

 The --disable-debug should probably be:

$(if $(BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG),--enable-debug,--disable-debug)

 And gl is provided by the mesa3d package - it probably
should be a configure option, though.  Or you can do
something like

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D),y)
XBMC_DEPENDENCIES += mesa3d
XBMC_CONF_OPT += --enable-gl
else
XBMC_CONF_OPT += --disable-gl
endif
