I really DO want to make this work
I've tried quite a few things and cannot get FreeTDS to build to the 
point I can use it

It seems that at this point I have a problem with specifying the right 
--host option for configure
It doesn't guess it properly and so I have to supply one

./configure --with-tdsver=5.0
  fails at checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess 
host type; you must specify one

./configure --with-tdsver=5.0 --host=ppc
   configures OK but makes fail trying to locate malloc.h

./configure --with-tdsver=5.0 --host=apple
 fails
 ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds --with-tdsver=4.2 
--enable-shared --enable-static
  fails .... need to supply a host

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds --with-tdsver=4.2 
--enable-shared --enable-static --host=ppc_apple_osx
  fails .... osx unrecognized

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds --with-tdsver=4.2 
--enable-shared --enable-static --host=ppc_apple_os_x
  fails .... os_x unrecognized

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds --with-tdsver=4.2 
--enable-shared --enable-static --host=ppc_apple_macos
  fails .... macos unrecognized

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds --with-tdsver=4.2 
--enable-shared --enable-static --host=powerpc
  configure runs but make fails on malloc.h again


Yes, I checked. /usr/include on this set up really has no malloc.h
I'm checking on another developer list to see why this is and what I can 
do about it

In the mean time, what might you folks suggest as the host variable ?
