Well, essentially this means that TDF build LibreOffice is built with a different ODBC ABI than the MacOS X system ODBC ABI. I think it does not really matter, because LibreOffice never uses the "wide characters" ODBC API. The code is there, many functions take a "shall I use wide characters in ODBC calls" bool parameter, but it is always called with false. However, if I'm wrong about this, then it will fail hard, in the form of corrupting data (character strings), because LibreOffice will provide/expect UTF-16 when the driver will expect wchar_t (which I expect will be UCS4/UTF-32). Maybe that's even what Julien was trying to investigate when trying to build with --with-system-odbc?
Well, in fact I just copied pasted the autogen.input from my Linux to MacOs to just give a try. I had to comment every Mysql/MariaDB options since brew (a repository manager) freezed to install mysql connector (at least for some minutes when installing Mysql after having retrieved Boost and other components + build Mysql with cmake).
