Description:
mysqld crashes without giving a hint what's wrong
due to a conflict between the bundled bdb library
and libnss_db if mysql is compiled with --with-berkley-db
and "db" being part of the "services:" entry in
/etc/nsswitch.conf
see also bug #4872
How to repeat:
compile mysql with --with-berkley-db on linux/ppc, make sure the "services:" entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf has the "db" method in it
run "mysqld --help --verbose" or "mysql_install_db" to see it crash
