--with-tdsver is the lowest priority, the last ditch
you-didn't-say-so-I'll-guess alternative.  

Then, in rising order:

        [global] 
        [your server] 
        TDSVER 
        API calls from your application

ignoring the file seeking algorithm, for simplicity.

It might be you're not picking up the freetds.conf you think you are.
TDSDUMPCONFIG will confirm.  (tsql also responds to "version" typed in at
its prompt.)

Not sure about this.  Nick?
