The whole point of UML is so that you don't have to run stuff as root on 
the host. If you were running UML as root on the host, we'd have to send 
someone 'round to teach you how to do it properly. ;-)

There's no obvious reason why that should make a difference - You 
compile MySQL as a user on the host, right?

Unless Gentoo has something messed up with it's compiler, it shouldn't 
matter. MySQL with pthreads runs happily under UML here, although it was 
from a Debian package rather than compiled.
