I would check the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file and see if it has a line
like this:

     !includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d

probably at the end of the file. If so, then make any changes to
the configuration in a file under conf.d. Call the file there
anything you like but it must end in .cnf. As an example:

     [mysqld]
     bind-address=::
     max_connections = 100

In the *buntu world, the package maintainer may change the my.cnf
file and even though users are given a prompt, sometimes it's
missed/ignored and local changes vanish. Maybe not true for Gentoo.
