MySQL has released 4.1 which is a LOT better than 4.0.18 as it for instance supports subqueries and derived (more here tableshttp://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Nutshell_4.1_features.html). MySQL recommends MySQL 4.1 -- Alpha release for new development, and I think that it should be in the portage tree alonside 4.0.18. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
