I applied this patch, modified (I use same byte alignment of old
function but removing bugs and improving it).

Note that g__precision_bytes_per_prec problem remain.
I tried to resolve this problem and perhaps I find a solution.
I token.c we always swap bytes coming from TDS7/8 (MSSQL do not return
numeric on TDS4.2 but convert to float, I test this on MSSQL7).
So freetds library use always Sybase coding in TDS_NUMERIC. 
So we not leave g__precision_bytes_per_prec values fixed to Sybase db?
I tested and work very good. Who made the change to
g__precision_bytes_per_prec (I node in old numeric.c comment that time
ago this structure was const)

Note also that ODBC require little-endian alignment while Sybase (and
FreeTDS) use big-endian, so conversion in ODBC to SQLNUMERIC should swap
bytes.
