Gentoo's OpenRC startup script does not use mysqld_safe because of such
limitations.
We have start-stop-daemon create the pidfile and call mysqld directly
instead.

Alternatively, OpenRC's supervise-daemon could be used if one wanted to
have the server "always available", but I believe that a database crash
should be investigated by an admin.

MySQL and MariaDB attempt to create the pidfile as the user that mysqld
is running as.. which may be a potential security issue if that user is
compromised.
