I looked at that before - it looks like a debian issue.

The problem is SQLLEN is not the correct prototype for those functions,
and other platforms (eg. osx, solairs) will fail to compile if that
patch is used (and it's not even a #define so you can't conditionally
define it).  You may have to just have it as a debian specific patch.
