 There is a comment in the port that's been there for a long time (since
 r59788) saying use of that flag is in store for the future. This was
 ported to the mysql5 port from the mysql5-devel port, where this option
 had been used, but was removed in r30318 because according to #12954 it
 was broken. The two referenced upstream bug reports about it are still not
 resolved. [http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11913 MySQL bug 11913] has not
 been touched in two years, and [http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=25226
 MySQL bug 25226] was closed as wontfix saying they can't support this
 option. The current version of MySQL 5.5 (not yet in MacPorts but will be
 once I resolve #25751) has switched to cmake so I don't know if that
 changes the situation at all.


 The workaround for you for now is put /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin in your
 PATH.
