--with-unixodbc is used for two porpuses:
1- enable odbc driver compile with unixodbc
2- add include and lib directory used to compile odbc driver
/usr are used by default, so using /usr/local work even if your distro
use /usr/local instead of /usr for unixODBC (I use RH, unixODBC is
installed in /usr but it compile and run perfectly)

/usr is used in many RPMs so is best to leave in /usr. 
Perhaps you don't need static but other people have different ideas...
Perhaps split static from shared would be a best solution but we can't
split freetds in dozen packages... If other people think that splitting
static library is helpful.
