FYI,
On Solaris (Sparc) with this tgz file, after running

configure --prefix /opt/freetds --with-tdsver=4.2

I get this output right off the bat with 'make':

Making all in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/devel/gwj/freetds/src'
Making all in tds
make[2]: Entering directory `/devel/gwj/freetds/src/tds'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/features.h', needed by 
`mem.lo'.
Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/devel/gwj/freetds/src/tds'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/devel/gwj/freetds/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Also,  with the latest from CVS on Solaris, the make process completed but 
the flag
for HW_BIG_ENDIAN/HW_LITTLE_ENDIAN was set to HW_LITTLE_ENDIAN.  Interestingly
enough, the other flag WORDS_BIGENDIAN was set to 1 (is this used in the 
code?).
So, yes the build went ahead without errors, but I sure wouldn't want to try 
it out
on Sybase.  I have been told, (ahem...by the database administrator) that it 
causes
a stack trace to occur and can bring down (or as a result, needs to bring 
down) the
database.
