Thanks for your suggestion Ernie, but I need MySQL for webpage
development. I fixed my problem anyway. The problem does have to do
with glibc and can be fixed (or at least bypassed) by adding the
following lines to the mysql ebuild, located at
/usr/portage/devel-db/mysql/mysql-3.23.54a.ebuild (or 3.23.55 depending
on which version you're installing). The two lines are:
export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -DHAVE_ERRNO_AS_DEFINE=1"
export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -DHAVE_ERRNO_AS_DEFINE=1"
Note: 3.23.55 already has the first line just add the second. See this
bug report for more details.
