Public bug reported:

It seems to be impossible to pass a configuration file to mysqld on
startup: E.g.:

/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --basedir=/usr --datadir=/data/mysql/main
--defaults-file=/data/mysql/my.cnf --pid-file=/tmp/my.pid
--socket=/tmp/my.sock

results into:

/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/data/mysql/main --plugin-
dir=/usr/lib/mysql/plugin --defaults-file=/data/mysql/my.cnf --pid-
file=/tmp/my.pid --socket=/tmp/my.sock --port=3306 --log-syslog=1 --log-
syslog-facility=daemon --log-syslog-tag=

which in turn results into an error:
