This you can fix right now by passing -x -std=c++0x to the ODB compiler.
It will switch GCC the into C++11 mode. I just tried to compile all the
tests with this flag and aside from a simple shared_ptr ambiguity in the
common/lazy-ptr test everything compiles and runs just fine.

I could add support for std::shared_ptr (along with an ODB compiler option
for C++11, e.g., --std c++11) in the next couple of days. Would you be
interested to try it out?

Thanks, I am glad you like it. And thanks for the suggestions. C++11 is
definitely something we are planning to support so having someone actually
using ODB in this mode and giving us feedback is very much appreciated.
