Hello all,

With much manipulation of Makefiles I got FreeTDS to compile and
install sucessfully on my AIX 5.2 machine. TSQL can connect to my SQL
2005 db and I can sucessfully make queries with it.

However ...

make check succeeds 15 times in src/tds/unittests but fails in
src/ctlib/unittests with segfaults in every test. So I thought I'd
fire up the debugger and see what is going on. Trouble is, I don't
seem to know how to get gdb (or dbx) to read the debug information
from the libct.a file. I'm hoping someone here can help nudge me in
the correct direction - I would love to help out in getting FreeTDS
better supported on AIX.

Below is my gdb session ...
Thanks,
Luke
