Hi Yannik, 

The good news is I did the following successfully.  I guess I'd have to
recommend my procedure.  

1.  Cloned current FreeTDS with git
2.  ./autogen.sh
3.  make distclean
4.  mkdir build && cd build
5  ../configure # warning about daemon(3) deprecation for pool
6. make

I used: 

$ (autoconf --version && automake --version) | grep GNU &&  
   printf "%s:" libtool && libtool -V 
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
License GPLv3+/Autoconf: GNU GPL version 3 or later
automake (GNU automake) 1.16.2
License GPLv2+: GNU GPL version 2 or later
<https://gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html> 
libtool: Apple Inc. version cctools-986 

$ cc --version
Apple clang version 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.27.3)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin21.2.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

I have: 

$ sw_vers
ProductName:    macOS
ProductVersion: 12.1
BuildVersion:   21C52

I got: 

$ find * -name libsyb\*
src/dblib/libsybdb.la
src/dblib/.libs/libsybdb.lai
src/dblib/.libs/libsybdb.dylib
src/dblib/.libs/libsybdb.a
src/dblib/.libs/libsybdb.5.dylib
src/dblib/.libs/libsybdb.la

I didn't try to configure for ODBC, because in your message the file
you want is the DB-Lib libsybdb.  If you're picking up ODBC by accident
because configure is detecting it, you can use --disable-odbc to defeat
it.

I don't think you attachment was attached....

If you do need ODBC, I would not use with --with-odbc-nodm option.
Instead, I would install unixodbc with HomeBrew, and set
--with-unixodbc=DIR, where "DIR" is wherever HomeBrew deposits files.  

HTH.
