I have different results to provide for IRIX-6.5.22 with MIPSPro-7.41
and AIX-5.1 with GCC-3.3.2. Simple queries using 'tsql' are easy to
achieve, although the linker on AIX is a bit picky ....  which results
in the need to add

  ../tds/.libs/libtds_objects.a ../replacements/.libs/libreplacements.a

here and there where '-ltds' is being linked into a binary.

Collaboration with unixODBC-2.2.10 is pretty difficult. I simply copied
a configuration which is known to work on Linux and applied it to both
machines. IRIX (I have a dummy account for such tests):

sirius: 17:25:29 ~> isql gluehbirne mas dummy4
SQL> sp_who
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLExecute


AIX is even more difficult because the linker doesn't create shared
libraries as we know them from Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux, IRIX, whatever.
This means I don't have any 'libtdsodbc.so' file at all. When I
configure unixODBC to use the 'libtdsodbc.a' file, I get a
"[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect" - which doesn't surprise.

Cheers,
        Martin.
P.S.: Solaris and FreeBSD to follow tomorrow.
