System: FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE
Port cvsup date: 2002.12.16.00.00.00
Port Makefile version: 1.152

Problem:

1. On i386, CONFIGURE_ARGS contains --with-berkeley-db,
but none berkeley DB version is listed in dependencies.
With installed db-3.3.1 from port, mysql's configure can't find it.

2. With workaround of par.1 (disabled --with-berkeley-db),
configure falls into eternal cycle:

Configuring MIT Pthreads
cd: can't cd to mit-pthreads
checking build system type... i386-unknown-freebsd4.7
[...]
Configuring MIT Pthreads
cd: can't cd to mit-pthreads
checking build system type... i386-unknown-freebsd4.7
[...]

This is because configure contains:
    echo ""
    echo "Configuring MIT Pthreads"
    # We will never install so installation paths are not needed.
    (cd mit-pthreads && sh ./configure)

but subdirectory `mit-pthreads' doesn't exist in mysql tarball,
and script runs the same top-level configure again and again.
Adding --with-posix-threads to configure arguments doesn't help.

This wasn't changed by port patches, hence problem is from stock vendor.

It seems to me that new port was totally untested :(
And stock mysql 3.23.54 also was untested even for simple compiling :(

The host in question has no non-standard items, /etc/make.conf follows.
