I am trying to install unixODBC right now, but keep getting a pernicious error from
the linker. It does not like the way it is getting passed flags. I had this same
problem with compiling PostgreSQL. I am having more trouble tracking it down this
time. I think it must be NetBSD specific.

It depends on your application. Presumably it will work for a low volume
app and not for a high volume app.
You can presumably use, the open source unixODBC driver, I didn't in part
because my client was not interested, and in part because using the
supported version from easysoft got me some documentation and some useful
emails that explained how things work.
Please feel free to research the free unixODBC method, since the driver
itself is known to work, it should now be much easier to swap out the
easysoft for the unixODBC code. (And it's very much likely the same code
just repackaged, since easysoft uses unixODBC themselves.)

Presumably.
