Hello,

I tried, but I got into problems.

following instructions on http://tug.org/texlive/build.html

I downloaded /trunk/Build/sources using rsync, 
then 
I followed instructions given in README.2building to compile only one package.
but I hit against the same problem as will be described next below

Thus I started all over again from scratch but used the top level Build script
to build all binaries. They are all now (387 files including symlinks) in 

/opt/src/tl/inst/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0

I don't want to massively overwrite my current TL2014 in /usr/local/texlive

Thus I saved the current dvipdfmx, xdvipdfmx as found in /usr/texbin 
and  also
/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-config/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg
in case it matters

(there is no dvipdfmx.cfg in my /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local)

and I then replaced these three files with what Build had produced.

(I am sure this is the step where I am badly wrong)

dvipdfmx seems to work ok 

but with xdvipdfmx I get with a Hello world test:

> testxelatex.xdv -> testxelatex.pdf
> DVI ID = 5

> xdvipdfmx:fatal: Something is wrong. Are you sure this is a DVI file?

How should have I proceeded after having gotten all binaries
compiled in /opt/src/tl/inst ?

Best,
