Ok, I hoped that it was just something like this. pacman -Syu gets me no
new packages, so I'll wait at least until tomorrow and hope it will work
then. It's somewhat weird when stuff doesn't hit the repos in sync (Same
with gcc yesterday, got a circular dependency error for a while,
resolved itself).

Downloading the jmeters tarball, extracting it and just typing 'make' 
leads to the same result, so it's definitely unrelated to makepkg.

However, I already have mysql 5.5.19-1 installed, which is the second
most recent updates and just 5 hours old, so how can my toolchain be out
of date?
