You should probably try to build the Sybase::DBlib portion of sybperl
instead. That will probably work fine.

It seems that the Client Library side of Freetds isn't quite ready
yet.

When I try to build DBD::Sybase I get a lot of missing or undefined
symbols. These can probably be added pretty easily, and I'll see if I
can do that tomorrow, but I don't know if it will link, as several
libraries are missing...
