Could you post some line of errors?
Probably some new utility require readline, I'll check...

You are using a newer gcc which catch more errors. In this case you are
passing two parameters with different sign. In this case errornumber and
message (which should be declared as char) are passed in SQLCHAR*
parameters (which are usually const unsigned char* type) so the error
(due to (signed) char * -> unsigned char * implicit conversion). In this
case is normal and do not produce any problem.
