Well, I'm 0/1 today, but I'll offer a nonanswer.  

The message says the shared library "libtdsodbc.so" called the function
"gethostbyname" (also from a shared library?) and didn't find it.  Why that
should be the case, I don't know.  

Could it have something to do with ldconfig and the library path?  Cf.
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/x200.htm#AEN210 .

I can tell you, sqsh uses other FreeTDS shared libraries.  If sqsh can
connect to your server, that would indicate a Makefile problem for the
FreeTDS OCBC library on Solaris.  If sqsh cannot connect, I'd say you have a
local OS issue (because sqsh works on Solaris for lots of people).  

An alternative test would be to try to connect with DBD::Sybase, which (like
sqsh) uses the ct-lib API.  Same analysis.
