I saw something like this before, which happened after I tried to
install a new (changed) build of the compiler over an old build.

Which I why I started from scratch for this release (and why it took a
day longer than it otherwise might have done!)

But, I wonder whether you saw this in the release note ..

   Install by
   =======

   $ cd /
   $ sudo tar jxvf ~/Downloads/gcc-4.9.1-x86_64-apple-darwin13.tar.bz2

   and put /opt/gcc-4.9.1/bin first on your PATH.

I know that GCC doesn't care whether it's on your path: that is,
/opt/gcc-4.9.1/bin/gnatmake will do The Right Thing (not so sure about
gprbuild, mind, haven't tried). But I do think the compiler expects to
find its components in the place it was built for.

I rebuilt gnoga with this compiler on Mavericks and Yosemite, no errors.
