I am trying to compile FreeTDS v0.51 on a FreeBSD-based host.
The following error occurs:

        Error expanding embedded variable.
        *** Error code 1

Are there any known issues compiling for FreeBSD, and/or use 
w/ Sybase ASE v11.5.1, ASE v11.9.x and ASE v12.x?

A complete listing of `configure` and `make` follows.  Thanks 
in advance.
