That's a bug in the ebuild, the next one will fix this. As a mitigating 
factor the rightmost option override the left ones.
In the ebuild the rightmost is set by use flags.

readline:
the use flag has always worked in "inversed" mode, but it's too late to 
discuss about it, it will be removed in the next ebuilds (always 
linking to the system readline)

also the "configure" option you see at compile time may _not_ be the 
same the ebuild used, _but_ what the ebuild set always override the 
MySQL default.

just in case you are thnking to play with mysql-5.0.16 wait for 
dev-db/mysql-5.0.16-r2 <-- r2 but be advised that it's shiny new 
and ... buggy.

Cheers,
Francesco R.
