A bit obscure, but functional  :-)
I simply modified the Makefile and rebuilt src/tds/ and src/apps/ afer a
'make clean' in each of the directories. I think this is sufficient.
The result on Solaris8/Sparc (gcc-3.4.2):

gcc -shared -Wl,-M -Wl,.libs/libtds.so.4.0.0.exp -Wl,-h -Wl,libtds.so.4
  -o .libs/libtds.so.4.0.0 -z allextract ./.libs/libtds_objects.a
  ../replacements/.libs/libreplacements.a -z defaultextract -lnsl
  -lsocket -lc -lc
[...]

        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2


.... on FreeBSD-5.3 everything is fine even after the change:

/opt/freetds/bin/tsql:
        libreadline.so.5 => /lib/libreadline.so.5 (0x28077000)
        libtds.so.4 => /opt/freetds/lib/libtds.so.4 (0x280a3000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x280ce000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x281a7000)


.... but it still does not serve as a solution for AIX.
I don't have much knowledge about the autoconf/automake stuff ....  is
it really _that_ difficult to simply link two libs statically into
libtds ? Well, I believe it is not that easy  ;-)
