Thanks.  I updated build2 to 0.16 and rebuilt odb and libodb-* and all
built fine.

I noticed that

bpkg install --all --recursive

ended on

info: failed to install dir{libodb-2.5.0-b.25/}
info: failed to install dir{libodb-mysql-2.5.0-b.25/}

which I didn't notice before.  That is what set me on my quest to build
libodb-mysql from scratch.

However

bpkg install libodb  and
bpkg install libodb-mysql

succeeded and did the expected thing.
