Category:Connector / ODBC Severity:S2 (Serious)
Version:3.51.12 OS:Solaris (Solaris 9 x86)
Assigned to: CPU Architecture:Any

Description:
util/MYODBCUtilReadDataSourceStr.c:23 tries to determine if the OS has the strndup function available, but this check is inadequate for solaris x86 which does not have it.  This results in an undefined symbol error.

How to repeat:
Try to compile on Solaris x86:
$ uname -a
SunOS albert 5.9 Generic_117172-05 i86pc i386 i86pc
$ cc -V
cc: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C 5.3 Patch 111680-09 2003/05/18

Suggested fix:
This check should be done with autoconf rather than some ad-hoc list in a random source file.
