for me too. the mysql-4.0.18-gentoo-nptl.diff patch is used to make configure.in think that linuxthread exists, also if this is never true in a nptl only system. The patch apply cleanly to configure.in but configure.in is *not* used to recreate configure script, the original one from mysql.com is used (try "rm comfigure" before "autoreconf --install --force" ). Hint if you found why this (not) happen you resolve the bug ;)
fixed version in portage now
Seems someone fixed it and forgot about closing this bug.
sorry, I missed closing this one when I did fix it the other day.
