MariaDB intent to be a drop-in replacement for MySQL. Hence it is almost
a mysql-client version. There is however a caveat: I am not sure
mariadb-server is able to build against a non mariadb mysql-client.

databases/mariadb55-server/Maefile does not include mk/mysql-buildlink3.mk
but databases/mariadb55-client/buildlink3.mk therefore it is probably fine.

All we would need would be this change?
