Ah I see that Fedora builds FreeTDS with that:

%configure \
        --disable-dependency-tracking \
        --disable-rpath \
        %{!?_with_static: --disable-static} \
        --with-tdsver="4.2" \
        --with-unixodbc="%{_prefix}" \
        --enable-msdblib \
        --enable-sybase-compat \
        --with-gnutls

Now, I do want to use FreeTDS to connect to an MSSQL server, so do I need to
keep that flag in there?

If so, I guess Sybperl needs patching to build against a FreeTDS configured 
this
way.  I might go through the Sybperl source and add various #ifdef MSDBLIB
sections.  Does that sound a reasonable way to proceed?
