Bug #4966	NDB binaries not compiling

Description:
When following the compilation directions for MySQL 4.1 on an AMD64 system running Gentoo Linux 2004.2, the bin directory under the ndb directory never gets created and no errors crash the compile.  I'm following the directions from the Introduction to MySQL Cluster for MySQL users.  The bug is happening on two different machines.  This is using a nightly snapshot from August 3, 2004.  I have verified that the compile script I'm using has the --with-ndbcluster flag.  Many ndb_* binaries get build and installed with make install, but the ndb binary and the Mgmtsrvr binary do not get built, among others.

How to repeat:
tar -xvpzf mysql-4.1.4*.tar.gz
cd into the directory created
nano BUILD/SETUP.sh

Here I remove the -mcpu flag, due to reported problems with the -march flag.

BUILD/compile-pentium-max

The build finishes cleanly, but I have no ndb/bin directory as the docs lead me to believe I should have.

Suggested fix:
I suspect this is an issue with the makefiles, but I haven't had time to verify this.

ndbd and ndb_mgmd are located under $prefix/libexec

the ndb/bin directory is no longer used, please read

Thanks for the link.  Looking at the date of the email linked, it is disappointing that it takes 2+ months to update something as critical as binary name and location changes in what is usually excellent MySQL documentation.
