Yep, that's the ticket.  The problem is:  

> ld: I/O error, file "/opt/langtools/lib/pa20_64/end.o": 

BTW, are you trying to compile FreeTDS for a 64-bit OS?  AFAIK, FreeTDS is
64-bit clean, and we'll correct any 64-bit badness as soon as it's
identified.  

I can only offer general suggestions, Ian, because you have a local setup
issue in an OS I don't use.  If it turns out we could be doing something
different -- say, using more recent tools to generate the configure script,
or including another test -- I'm happy to oblige.  

1.  See HP or Google for the above message.  I don't know whether that file
should be present, or if configure is setting (or not setting) some
flag/variable that HP UX11 requires.  

2.  Try Gnu's linker.  I don't know if this will help or hurt; I hope
someone who does will jump in here.  

3.  There may well be flags you have to add to LDFLAGS or somesuch when
linking gcc output with HP's linker.  

HTH.
