According to https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=mariadb-connector-c and https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=mariadb-10.0 bot libmariadb-dev and libmariadbclient-dev built OK and are available on mips64el. I am farily confident that either would work. At the moment I don't have time to test build rmysql due to lack of time, but I did ping the upstream author of MariadB Connector C to take a look at your build error message.
