Description:
There's actually only way to specify datadir and basedir starting 'mysql' compiled with embedded server - to edit ~/.my.cnf.
File specified in --defaults-file option doesn't get to 'server'-s initialization

How to repeat:
to run libmysqld/examples/mysql --defaults-file=/home/me/.test.cfg
embedded server just won't look for the .test.cfg content
