However this file is compiled only if you use --enable-sybase-compat
configuring source...

>From userguide (http://www.freetds.org/userguide/x328.htm)

--enable-sybase-compat

  Enable close compatibility with Sybase's ABI, at the expense of other
features. Currently, this enables the generation of a dbopen() entry
point in db-lib, which may clash with the DBM function with the same
name. Absolutely not required for use with other free software.
