Well, looking at the RPMs on www.mysql.com, they are compiled (dynamically) for
RedHat Linux, so they depend on a standard RedHat install with the glibc
versions that they ship, not a Caldera install.  My suggestion is to download
the MySQL source tarfile:
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/unix/databases/relational/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-3.22/mysql-3.22.30.tar.gz
     

Untar/uncomress with:
tar -xzf mysql-3.22.30.tar.gz

cd into the mysql directory and then compile:
./configure
make
make install

You are now finished and ready to run MySQL.

This will be easier and safer than trying to upgrade/change glibc on your
Caldera system.
