Patrick's instructions on how to build worked for me, compressed for dummies (like me) as this:
Install XCode (6.1)
cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains
sudo ln -s XcodeDefault.xctoolchain OSX10.10.xctoolchain
vi /tmp/Adaptors/Apache2.4/Makefile
and remove the arg -macosx_version_min 10.5
cd /tmp
svn co https://github.com/wocommunity/wonder.git/Utilities/Adaptors
cd /tmp/Adaptors
gnumake (some bits fail, but carry on)
gnumake Apache2.4
This creates:
mod_WebObjects.so
in /tmp/Adaptors/Apache2.4
I haven't tried using it yet, out of time today. If anyone has advice on changes needed to httpd.conf for using Apache2.4 with WO, that would be of interest. I will report back once I have tried it.

On OSX, the project is set up to build the WO adaptor internals (this works), the CGI adaptor (this works), the FastCGI adaptor (does not work, missing headers) and the Apache2.2 adaptor (never got there because of FastCGI; didn't care). The project will build the Apache 2.4 adaptor, provided the WO adaptor internals have been built.

Even if (like me) you don't code in perl, you should find yourself looking at /usr/share/httpd/build/config_vars.mk next, which will have the reference to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.10.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc , and you will also see no optimisation flags listed in CFLAGS -- personally, here I would remove -O2 from CFLAGS in all the Makefiles that build any code loaded by Apache.
