this can be fixed by setting the --defaults-file option at the beginning of the options list!!!!!
weird, but works :)
home/mysql/v4/current/bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/home/mysql/v4/mysql4-1.cnf --datadir=/home/mysql/DATA1.v4 --pid-file=/home/mysql/DATA1.v4/myhost.pid --port=3309 --socket=/tmp/mysql4-1.sock --err-log=/home/LOGS/mysql/mysql4-1.err.log --log=/home/LOGS/mysql/mysql4-1.log

This is documented on
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/option-files.html
i agree though that the error messages are not too helpfull,
this has already been reported as bug #30994 though

I faced the same issue on Redhat Linux/ MySQL community version 5.0.77 -
[ERROR] /usr/libexec/mysqld: unknown variable 'defaults-file=/var/lib/mysql/my.cnf'
However, it worked for me in this way:
If mysqld_safe is installed as /usr/bin/mysqld_safe, and mysqld binary exists in /usr/libexec,
$ cd /usr
$ ./bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/var/lib/mysql/my.cnf --user=mysql --ledir=/usr/libexec &
Hope this helps someone like me, who took ample amount of time investigating what went wrong!
