Bug#635668: retraction and explanation

[Martin J. Evans]

Jonathan Yu reported this issue on my behalf (so it is no reflection on him) after I was seeking someone to try and get unixODBC's odbc_config into Debian for the reason outlined above.

I am not a debian user myself but I was sent header files reportedly from Ubuntu boxes which did not contain a unixodbc_conf.h and needed SIZEOF_LONG set to 8 else SQLLEN/SQLULEN was not 64 bit. These headers did not contain a define for BUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE either.

With the help of more debian savvy people I located the lenny (oldstable) and squeeze (stable) headers and these are in fact correct because someone has added BUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE.

As a result this does not seem to be a problem in debian as distributed in stable releases.

However, please still consider adding odbc_config to unixODBC as it has other uses beyond locating --cflags.
