I am not sure what you mean by "custom compiler", but have you tried
the ODB compiler binary for MacOS X (it includes a private copy of
GCC). Is this what's giving your trouble? If so, could you elaborate
on what kind of trouble? I would like to make sure this works since
that's the most straightforward way of getting started with ODB on
Mac OS.

Yes, there were some changes in GCC 4.9 that broke ODB 2.3.0 (it was
release before 4.9 and while we tested against early pre-releases of
GCC, things still got changed afterwards).

While you should be able to use ODB 2.3.0 with GCC 4.9.x by applying
these patches:

I don't think you will miss much by sticking with 4.8.
