Mark, 

Thanks for writing.  I've forwarded your mail to the FreeTDS list.  I
myself don't know anything about AIX, much less its autoconf/makefile
requirements.  But AIX is discussed there from time to time, and maybe
someone will know what (if anything) should be done about the issues you
raised.  

Regards,
