This won't be a complete list, but here's a start.

* The symbol CS_CLEAR is not defined (Sybase has it in cspublic.h)
* The symbol BLK_SENSITIVITY_LBL is missing (bkpublic.h)

There's also a conflict in an enum declaration with the symbol CANCEL,
but that's the sort of silliness that you just learn to cope with when
you're faced with the preprocessing nightmares of C.
