Re: freetds on solaris 11: symbol scope specifies local binding (same problem)

FYI: I never did resolve the compile error, instead installing the
compiled/binary package of freetds from the solaris package
archive[0], which allowed compiling DBD::Sybase.

Note: ./configure --disable-shared works as I said, but then
DBD::Sybase fails to compile, too.
