I vaguely recall encountering a similar problem when I compiled 
FreeTDS 0.65 back in 2007.

I think I avoided the problem by setting the FREETDS_LIBGCC variable 
in the dtlib/Makefile to explicitly specify my libgcc.a file, so as 
to use the GCC version of strlen() instead of the Solaris one.

Hope this helps.
