binutils-2.20 on Gentoo causes Amarok issues

If you're a Gentoo user read on:

Using unstable toolchain (GCC 4.4, binutils 2.20, glibc 2.10) is causing
issues where the collection fails to connect to the database when using
the embedded mysql collection.

If you're having this kind of issue, downgrading to binutils-2.19.1-r1
should solve it.

However, if you are having this problem and can help us test, please try
the following combinations and let us know what works and doesn't work
for you. You may have to rebuild mysql and/or amarok after each combination:

* Downgrade GCC to 4.4.1 and leave binutils at 2.20.
* Leave GCC at 4.4.2 and downgrade binutils to 2.19.1-r1
* Downgrade both GCC to 4.4.1 and binutils to 2.19.1-r1

Thanks,
Jeff
