The 5.1 series of MySQL is going to be unmasked at the same time as the release
of this news item. When upgrading from an older major version, you will be
required to rebuild everything linked to the libmysqlclient.so.15.

You can do this by installing gentoolkit and running:

revdep-rebuild --library libmysqlclient.so.15

You can do this by installing gentoolkit and running:
# revdep-rebuild --library libmysqlclient.so.15

If you use the Portage 2.2 series, you may also use:
# emerge @preserved-rebuild

I assume "older major version" means 4.x versions and older, not 5.0, right?

Typo: ^^^

And the real name shouldn't be quoted (news items aren't e-mail).

Is there an "upgrade path" for databases itself?

The following transitions required rebuilds:
3.23 -> 4.0
4.0 -> 4.1
4.1 -> 5.0
5.0 -> 5.1

5.1 -> 5.[45] don't require anything at present, but 5.x -> 6.0 may.

Major version in the context of upstream MySQL is the first TWO digits.

The official upgrade docs are:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/upgrade.html

My unofficial recommendation is just doing a backup before and running
'mysql_upgrade' after.
