I assume you only need to add something that wasn't compiled in the version
of MySQL you're currently using. In that case, I think you'll be fine
skipping the make install and copying over the new binary in place of the
old binary. I don't have any experience doing this with MySQL but I do it
with Apache all the time. Just make sure you stop MySQL, and back up you're
old binaries before you copy over the new binaries. That way if it doesn't
work you can go back to the last working version.

HTH,
