I'm attempting to use freetds on AIX and xlc.  I can get it to compile and
work with gcc, however It will not compile with xlc.  Other libs i'd like
to link (i.e. xerces xml parser) require that I compile my app with xlc
(does not link correctly with gcc under AIX).  Linking a gcc compiled lib
into an xlc compiled progam has always given me problems (compiles without
warning, but segfaults on 1st connect call).  Has anyone had any luck
getting any version of freetds to compile with xlc?  I've tried both
version 0.53 and 0.60 (note: 0.60 does not compile/install/work for me
under AIX even with gcc).  The compile of 0.53 with xlc and gnu make (AIX
make fails on the makefiles) fails with the following errors:
"ct.c", line 81.38: 1506-068 (E) Operation between types "void*" and
"int(*)(void*,void*,void*)" is not allowed.
"ct.c", line 84.38: 1506-068 (E) Operation between types "void*" and

and "char*" is not allowed.
"ct.c", line 544.17: 1506-068 (E) Operation between types "unsigned char*"

"ct.c", line 1346.15: 1506-068 (S) Operation between types "struct
tds_input_param*" and "int" is not allowed.

Near as I can figure these are the same as the "ct.c:1346: warning:
assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast" warnings I get from
gcc, but xlc just doesn't want to let it slide like gcc will.
