Difficult to say what is wrong precisely, you'll have to run the file
through the preprocessor and try to figure out. Use

% cd interfaces/odbc
% gcc -I../../include -I../../backend -O2 -Wall \
-Wmissing-prototypes -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fpic -E misc.c > blah

and check file blah.

The ODBC code generally tends to be troublesome in my experience -- I
had to fix some stuff there to get it through the compiler (on DEC Alpha
and SGI, the compilers didn't like the C++ style comments and also, I had
to change lines 64 and 94 in misc.c from "char *args;" to "va_list args;".
I guess that's what is meant by "minor patchable problems", stated in
INSTALL...
