Hi Merle,
  thanks to test it out. I think now the big concern about Mac OS X is
the OpenSSL support removal from Apple. Would be great to have the
support for Mac OS X system libraries for TLS support.
I have a Mac so I could try however I was not able to compile FreeTDS
with iODBC. I also installed iODBC (why is not included by default?)
but FreeTDS was not finding the headers/library. Should I add some
option?

Recently I had a report stating that ODBC on Mac OS X is compiling as
module instead of library causing some problems. I don't know if the
DM load drivers as module or as library. Actually there is no such
difference on other operating systems. What the difference between a
module and a library on Mac OS X?
Looking at 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2339679/what-are-the-differences-between-so-and-dylib-on-osx
looks like module were required for dynamic loading. Nowadays however
dynamic libraries work always. I think the best option would be to use
modules if DM is used or library otherwise taking attention to link
only to DM instead of module.
