Unfortunately, there isn't one.  Microsoft is the standard-bearer for ODBC,
they just don't know jack about 64-bit implementation issues.  There have
been some incremental improvements to the ODBC spec vis-à-vis 64-bit
platforms, but getting things working on 64-bit archs as we have in Debian
still requires some deviation from the 32-bit-minded spec.

Anyway, with Steinar's follow-up, I guess this part is definitely Not-A-Bug,
and I'll focus on the bits reported earlier.

Thanks,
