The issue is, I need to keep mysql 4.1.x version for my job. OTOH,

4.1.x and 5.x versions are _very_ different, and all are widely
used in real servers). What to do?
apr-util doesn't need Mysql unless you're doing your own db
connection pool within Apache (I bet you aren't), it just has that
USE flag set.
echo "dev-libs/apr-util -mysql" >> /etc/portage/package.use
A bit more info after poking around on this. The DBD layer in apr-util
1.2.x can be used for Mysql auth and replaces mod_auth_mysql. That might
be an issue if you're dependent on that sort of authentication.
It does seem odd that vrtual-mysql5 is required for Mysql support in
apr-util, but that is what is specified in the ebuild.
