May I ask why with_unixodbc is set to /usr/local, and not /usr?  If
FreeTDS is installed under /usr, why assume that unixODBC is installed
somewhere else?  (RedHat 8's unixODBC RPM is put under /usr - with
configuration files under /etc.)

I configured a 0.61 snapshot like this to get it working with RedHat
8's unixODBC (I installed freetds in /opt to not interfere with
previously installed FreeTDS.):

    ./configure --prefix=/opt/freetds --enable-shared --disable-static 
--with-unixodbc=/usr

(I don't really know if I need the -shared and -static switch - I
copied that from someone else's example.  Shame on me.)
