mysqld: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.22.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To me this seems an invalid bug.
You should have run revdep-rebuild / emerge -av @preserved-rebuild to fix this issue.

jmbsvicetto@.

libbfd-2.xx.so not preserved, not in set @preserved-rebuild.
Please test the update process.

So there might be an issue with portage or binutils. This has still nothing to do with mariadb/mysql.

What version of portage where you using when you hit this issue? If portage-2.1*, then it might not had preserve-libs support yet.
