I am seeing the same thing on Solaris 8.  I also removed the offending
line from libtool and the 32-bit build finished.  I do not have
unixODBC built with sparcv9 libraries at this time, so I cannot try a
sparcv9 build of freetds.

BTW, I had similar problems with another product and exporting the
following variables made that the build work with /usr/ccs/bin/ld.  So
it looks like some things are turned around a bit for Solaris.  I am not
sure if this would help with freetds.  I can try these exports, if
someone thinks it would be useful.

WHOLEARCHIVE='-Wl,-zallextract'
NOWHOLEARCHIVE='-Wl,-zdefaultextract'
export WHOLEARCHIVE NOWHOLEARCHIVE
