The compiled sources from have problems with both ssl and ndbcluster, 
logs at [1], description of at [2], running the mysql bundled tests show 
various problems, from segfaults to hanging.
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 ;)
