Robin Johnson did some more digging and found that MySQL 5.0.8[3-6]
needed GCC 4.3 due to mutex locking changes that were changed again in
5.0.87.
Gentoo now recognizes gcc 3.4.3 as the minimum requirement.

Daniel,
If you can, please remove my overlay from the instructions for building
in Gentoo.
Instead, users should build from the Gentoo main tree.

The correct procedure is now:
1.  Synchronize your tree with "emerge --sync"
2.  Build MariaDB using "emerge mariadb"
