The source package of libodb-mysql includes pre-generated CLI files so
you shouldn't really need it, unless you want to change something.

The step-by-step instructions for building ODB 2.5.0 with build2 from
source packages can be found here:

Having said that:

I think you are using an old build2 version. I've just tried this with
0.16.0, and it works without any issues.
