Yes but it does *not* work!
After doing so I *still* get:

NOTE: multiple providers are available for runtime libmysqlclient

NOTE: consider defining a PREFERRED_PROVIDER entry to match libmysqlclient

That's why I was asking whether this was a bug somewhere.

frans at frans-desktop:~/workspace/openembedded/recipes/uclibc++$ grep -r
mysql ../../conf

../../conf/distro/include/preferred-shr-versions.inc:PREFERRED_VERSION_postgresql

There is no DEFAULT_PREFERENCE for it either:

frans at frans-desktop:~/workspace/openembedded/recipes/mysql$ ls
files		 mysql5		   mysql5_5.1.40.inc	    mysql-native_4.1.22.bb
mysql_4.1.22.bb  mysql5_5.1.40.bb  mysql5-native_5.1.40.bb
