Just use the correct definitions SQLLEN as needed, and use the unixODBC 
header files, they should bring in the odbc-config.h and build to what 
you have. At the moment there is no way to check a older version as to 
how its build in terms of 64 bit SQLLEN. If its just a issue of code 
that will work with bost, its not a problem, the problem is prebuilt 
binaries.

The problem is its  not just a unixODBC and app issue, it also needs the 
driver to be build in the same way. Its a mess, and I am hoping that by 
trying to move towards only sizeof( SQLLEN ) = 8 in future it will 
eventually sort itself out. The only major app that is not thatway at 
the moment AFAIK is PHP, that needs its odbc code updating to use SQLLEN
