I looked at the problem but I found no reason for this behavior...
from log unixODBC calls SQLGetFunctions with SQL_API_ALL_FUNCTIONS
instead of SQL_API_ODBC3_ALL_FUNCTIONS. 2.2.15 changed slightly
behavior so I compiled it and used instead of system one but I got
SQLGetFunctions called with SQL_API_ODBC3_ALL_FUNCTIONS, not with
SQL_API_ALL_FUNCTIONS !!
One possible patch should be

but for me with or without this patch seems to work :( Could you try
