After some testing on MySQL ebuild for version 4.1.x and 5.0.x appear to me that is very difficult have a stable version of those databases with current glibc, gcc and maybe os-headers stable defaults (at least on x86 and amd64).
Adding a dev-db/mysql-bin package seems the only short-term viable solution to have those versions of mysql in portage tree.
What is broken w/ the current stable glibc & gcc?
Best regards, Stu
On the same systems, running the MySQL compiled sources goes well.
Saying that the problem is given from glibc, gcc and os-headers may be a limited point of view, because MySQL server and libraryes link against zlib, ncurses, readline, tcpwrappers, openssl too.
Anyway it's motived from bugs at [3] and seems to be not limited to 4.1 and 5.0 series that I've tested.
The problems seems limited to the server because running a binary version from MySQL and connecting from a client built from my ebuilds goes fine.
I hope that Jeff Smelser is right saying that it's only a problem of mine, if so the need of a mysql-bin ebuild is drastically reduced ;)
