  ^^^^^^^ this is the key

The runtime linker is telling you libtdsodbc.so called a function
"gethostbyname", but it [the linker, a/k/a "ld.so"] couldn't find that
function among its libraries.  

Of course, we know gethostbyname(3) is hanging out somewhere on your
Solaris box, so the only question is how to persuade the linker to look in
the right place.  

HTH.
