You're unlikely to gain stability either unless you have some particular issues with pre-built binaries. The reason to build in this case is just access to recent code. Otherwise I would use binaries from web site just as I did for many years. Peter,

Especially if you stick to GCC with rare exceptions you will not get much extra performance. You’re unlikely to gain stability either unless you have some particular issues with pre-built binaries.

MySQL 5.0.37 was rare exception of community release with binaries and if MySQL follows its promises we now will not see any more community binaries for few months. For us and our customers we have no problem building binaries. Some Linux distributions, FreeBSD etc will also likely have recent community releases quickly available (again assuming quality will be where) but distributions with conservative build policies, including RHEL will need third party binaries provided. Hopefully the people will settle in community which will do it." By compiling MySQL yourself, do you think it will be more stable or faster? Or do you encourage running binary version as released on mysql.com? Thanks, “What is about binaries ?
