I am unable to compile freeTDS on AIX.
I can get things up and running fine on Solaris and Linux ok  but no go
on AIX. I am a newbie to the AIX environment. Any help would be
appreciated.
...
freetds-0.62.4
AIX 4.3.3.0
VisualAge C++ compiler version 5

No configure options at all . Just using defaults.

== "D") || ($2 == "B")) && (substr($3,1,1) != ".")) { print $3 } }' |

I've never used AIX either, so I can't help much, except to send you
back the man pages for ld(1) and nm(1).  It looks like this line is not
doing what you want:

/usr/bin/nm -B -BCpg   \
        ./.libs/libtds_objects.a \
        ../replacements/.libs/libreplacements.a \
        | awk '{    if ((($2 == "T") \
                        || ($2 == "D") \
                        || ($2 == "B")) \
                        && (substr($3,1,1) != ".")) \
                { print $3 } }' \
        | sort -u \
        > .libs/libtds.exp

I'd look at libtds.exp (is it empty?), and try adjusting either the awk
filter or the nm(1) options.  I would imagine it should include lines
something like these:

$ nm .libs/libtds_objects.a |grep T | awk '{ print $3 }' |head

tds_alloc_bcp_column_data
tds_alloc_client_sqlstate
tds_alloc_compute_results
tds_alloc_compute_row
tds_alloc_connection
tds_alloc_context
tds_alloc_cursor

HTH.
