Hi Kiran, 

A trip to Google tells me that there were problems like this with gcc and
egcs.  It has to do with optimization, apparently.  Why should it affect
you and not, say, me, who also uses Gnu's compiler?  I don't know.  

Suggestions:

        cd src/dblib;
        gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../include \
                -g -DTDS50 -c bcp.c
        rm -f .libs/bcp.lo
        gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../include \
            -g -DTDS50 -c bcp.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/bcp.lo

Excludes optimization for that file only.  Then continue building.  

If that doesn't work or you encounter similar problems with other files,
edit src/dblib/Makefile.  Find: 

        CFLAGS = -g -O2 -DTDS50

Change to:

        CFLAGS = -g -DTDS50

Return to the FreeTDS directory.  "make clean; make".  

Am interested to hear how you fare.  

Regards,
