Is there a downloadable build of the FreeTDS package for VSI VMS on x86 available?  I don't have access to a C compiler to try building it.

But I could take a look at building on x86-64.

 Did.
 * download 1.5.2
* unpack on VMS
* @[.vms]configure
* mmk
* note only I message
* zip tree with -V
* upload

 Nothing is tested. No guarantees.
 (I actually do have some TDS code somewhere that I could test with,
but I assume that you have your test setup ready, so faster that
you get it)

It comes with an extensive test suite:
1.) Populate PWD.in with server and credentials
2.) $ define DECC$EFS_CHARSET ENABLE ! for some of the test infrastructure
3.) mmk test
I had it working pretty well on x86 against SQL 2022 a couple of months
ago.  I think there was one test failure I never finished tracking down.
