I've just spent quite a bit of time getting psqlodbc-0.24 running with
iODBC and an ApplixWare beta. I'm not familiar with pgodbc-0.08, but I
would recommend using psqlodbc instead since it is being very actively
developed on WIN32 platforms and also supports Unix.

I have a version which will compile and run on Linux-2.0.30 (RH4.2) and
can send it to you if you would like. It should be merged with the
Postgres development tree sometime soon. btw, I haven't tried compiling
with egcs yet, but it presumably is not a problem...
