Hi there,

I have the same problem. 

My ~amd64 toolchain setup:
* gcc-4.4.2
* binutils-2.20
* glibc-2.11

Now I tried to recompile mysql, and amarok GIT afterwards. I did make
sure mysql get's compiled with -fPIC -DPIC by patching the gentoo
eclass (as usual meanwhile when updating/recompiling mysql)

From cmake:

-- The following external packages were located on your
system [...]
   * mysqld - Embedded MySQL
Libraries                                       
   * mysql - MySQL Server Libraries 

From the merge log (<<< means it gets deleted):

[ignor] /usr/lib64/kde4/amarok_collection-mysqlservercollection.so
<<<         /usr/lib64/kde4/amarok_collection-mysqlecollection.so ---
[ignor] /usr/lib64/kde4/amarok_collection-mtpcollection.so   

...and amarok isn't able to use (it crashes) or create a new
embedded collection (just nothing happens). No compile errors though.
Before recompiling mysql, I was able to recompile amarok w/o loosing
mysqle support silently.

I'll try recompiling qt-sql and see what happens, if it matters at all.

Regards,
Tom
