Unfortunately those instructions are seriously out-of-date. They were
valid for the client libraries that originated at Sybase circa 1995...

However, to get around your problem add, at the top of DBlib.xs:

#define DBIORDESC(x)      NULL
#define DBIOWDESC(x)      NULL

These are pretty low-level calls, and I doubt that you will need
access to them...

First make sure that perl is really just that, and that it isn't
linked with -ldb or -lndbm (check with "perl -V:libs").

Then in the sybperl directory run make clean, and remove any 'perl'
binary that might exist there.

Set CONFIG correctly (ie CTLIBVS=0)
Now rebuild, starting with perl Makefile.PL
