I build from sources downloaded from : 
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/current/freetds-current.tgz

may be, that there is wrong path:

include\types.h

types.h is stored in

src\tds\types.h 

???

When I correct this path, then nmake end with error on another line:

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'src\tds\tds_willconvert.pl'
Stop.

"types.h" (and also tds_willconvert.h, encodings.h, num_limits.h) is 
there in "src/tds" directory from 02.10.2010
