What happens if you remove "-ldl"?  That library looks redundant.
Here's what I have:

$ (cd /usr/local/lib/; ls -l libdl*) |cut -b30-
 Aug  6  2002 libdl.a -> /usr/local/lib/libct.a

I don't know where that symlink came from; maybe it's my own 30-second
hack.  I do know Sybase's Open Client (for which sqsh is written)
distributes several libraries whose functions FreeTDS combines into one:
libct. 

Hope that helps.  Let us know how it goes.
