Please stop forcing -fPIC -DPIC when building mysql. Gentoo reworked
mysql's build system to ensure it builds a shared lib mysqle, so
there's no need to do that. Furthermore, doing it is technically wrong
and can cause issues. The patch is present on >=mysql-5.0.76-r1 and
>=mysql-community-5.0.77-r1.
