We encountered random failures in different client... And did not record an
exact list. Possibly most of this was fixed in later version - I did not
check in detail.

I do build packages for recent versions of MariaDB from time to time. Still
failing is perl-dbd-mysql with its extensive test suite, that was my primary
test case.

Due to unaddressed issues with MariaDB (and Unicode) the original DBD::mysql
was forked into DBD::MariaDB [0]. Possibly we should have a look on whether or
not replacing this package is an option... But if I understand correctly this
brings new incompatibility.
