Disable compile_time_assert(sizeof(MYSQL)

Similar to what is described here https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1063738

Adding this patch to /etc/portage/dev-db/mariadb allowed me to emerge mariadb 10.6.17 on arm (RPI 2).

Sorry, the directory of course was: /etc/portage/patches/dev-db/mariadb
