5.1 is in package.mask for a reason. There is much brokenness in it.

Ok, it's the only version we use (in production), hence the report.
Created attachment 174393 [details, diff] eclass patch this works for me, not much upstream in here, I guess...
grobian: it's the actual change that concerns me. In older versions, you could pass unrecognized --skip-FOO options safely. Also, USE=innodb is no longer optional, at the explicit request of upstream. innodb is hard-included in ALL mysql builds. I'm thinking also however that we shouldn't detect which --skip to pass based on the USE flags, but rather query the MySQL to see how it was built.
5.1-specific breakage. Will have to see about when upstream solves it.
