Has anyone one ever tried to statically link a program that accesses both 
MySQL and unixODBC.   The reason I ask is that the gethostbyname_r function 
acts strange of seg faults
when my program is linked statically, dynamically it works find, as do the 
isql and iusql programs.   The call to gethostbyname_r in question is deep 
inside freetds in the threadsafe.c source.  If my program is statically 
linked it always returns NULL, and h_errno is never changed.  All programs 
and code are compiled on the system in question freetds, unixODBC, and my 
program.  My thinking is that somehow the dlopened tds library is somehow 
accessing a copy of gethostbyname_r that is statically linked into my 
program, instead of one that is dynamically available.   Maybe somehow there 
are too different libraries with the same function, and my program gets a 
different one (maybe because of MySQL) when linked statically.
