Too many issues in this thread, I'm a bit confused, from Sybase
libraries to crash to ODBC settings, I'll try to reply to this one

This is failing, I suspect you are trying a wrong user/password

This is a successful connection.

Looking back at ODBC I would say the option is "TDS_Version", not "TDS
Version", see http://www.freetds.org/userguide/odbcconnattr.htm.
Usually the steps I take are setting up tsql, then use "Servername" in
odbc.ini then more from freetds.conf to odbc.ini the various settings
to get an odbc only configuration.

At the beginning you were using Sybase drivers, with FreeTDS you can
use TDSDUMP and TDSDUMPCONFIG environment to help debugging, see
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/logging.htm.

Not much experience with Gentoo, looks like directories are completely
different.
