I don't use AIX and will be of limited help to you, I'm sure.  

You're apparently using the AIX linker, which is complaining about not
finding  '.tdsdump_open' in libsybdb.  

I'd first make sure, with nm(1), that the symbol is present:

$ nm -o  libsybdb.so.5.0 libsybdb.a  | grep tdsdump_open 
libsybdb.so.5.0:0001cb24 T tdsdump_open
libsybdb.a:util.o:00000298 T tdsdump_open
libsybdb.a:login.o:         U tdsdump_open
libsybdb.a:config.o:         U tdsdump_open

If that proves to be the case, you'll want to consult your linker manual
for what knob to turn.  If you find anything useful, I'd be happy to
include it in the UG.
