Looking good.

Compiler & the patch (but no AdaCore tools included yet, sorry) at
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q9prig1gdz2s3b3/AAABoz_UOLQA2-Ww4yRGXfZxa?dl=0

The compiler installs at /opt/gcc-4.9.1-yosemite and works for me on
Mavericks and Yosemite (come to think, though, I haven't tried exception
handling yet)

Let us know how you get on.

If all seems OK I'll put this (plus tools) in the usual place on
Sourceforge.

By the way, I'm pretty sure you can now install the compiler wherever
you like and call /where/ever/bin/gnat* directly or via your PATH!
