I think this would be a win. In fact, I would vote for starting to
symlink libmysqlclient to libmysqlclient_r unless someone can really
prove that there is a real performance hit. I'm trying to convince
upstream that we need to stop building both anyway. In any case, I can
pretty much guarantee that upstream will not do anything on this issue
for 5.0 or 5.1. I might be able to sneak something in to 6.0.... but
like I said, I'm trying to get rid of the threaded/non-threaded lib
business by then anyway.
