I'm going to make the message more helpful (not asking much).  It means 
FreeTDS couldn't figure out what name your libiconv uses for ISO 8859-1 or 
UTF-8.  You were right to disable it.

Could I see the results of:

        $ cd doc
        $ make -n
        $ make -n | sh -x 

Maybe "make clean" doesn't make clean enough?  Does starting over in a new 
directory help?  

I would also be interested to see the section of your doc/Makefile that 
builds the target:

        > `doc/freetds-0.62.1/reference/index.html'

This, and your "make install" problem, are both portability issues with sh(1) 
and make(1).  I have exactly zero experience with SunOS, and it's quite 
possible we're expecting it to do something it can't.  

You of course realize that building/copying/installing the documentation are 
incidental.  The libraries and utilities are built and installed before the 
Makefile turns to the documentation.

           There's no "6.0".  Only TDS 5.0 is expected to work with ASE 12.5.

Could you post a TDSDUMP log of the failed login?  (Take care to remove any 
passwords from it, but don't remove so much that we can't tell what 
happened.)  

The fact that you got message 4002 from the server tells us you found the 
server and connected to it.  The failure could be caused by not using TDS 5.0 
or by not providing a good username+password.  I'm pretty sure 0.62.1 was 
tested with ASE 12.5, so it's expected to work.  I'm not positive it was 
tested with a big-endian client, but that's pretty far down my list of 
possible causes.
