4.9.1 has the same problem.

The "couldn't understand kern.osversion" is related to GCC PR/61407;
apparently the pre-Yosemite version of this interface produced something
like "13.4" but Yosemite produces "14.0.0". I will see if I can backport
the relevant patch (SVN revision 215690, it looks like).

__Unwind_Backtrace (& friends, I expect) are provided by
libgcc_s.1.dylib, which is required by libgcc_ext.10.{4,5}.dylib.

The Mavericks link of hello.adb includes

   -macosx_version_min 10.9.4 
   [...]
   -no_compact_unwind 
   -lSystem 
   -lgcc_ext.10.5 
   -lgcc 
   -lSystem

The Yosemite link includes

   -macosx_version_min 10.4 
   [...]
   -lgcc_ext.10.4 
   -lgcc 
   -lSystem

and I think this is the cause of our problems.
