You should also search through your perl distribution and remove any old 
sybase
and dbd libraries, as you might be linking in bogus versions of these each 
time
you build.  Try in your usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/  directories -- there will be
a couple different subdirectories you need to check.

perl has all the things it isn't meant to!

[root@bird DBlib]# perl -V:libs
libs='-lnsl -lndbm -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lc -lposix -lcrypt';

I expect this means I need to edit the perl makefile and
make it again, without this stuff.  After that, I will
do as you suggest here.  Will that fix it?

Unfortunately those instructions are seriously out-of-date.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
