Hmm. It seems bogus for iodbc-config to return "-L/usr/lib" in the first
place. Surely /usr/lib is in the default library path, so shouldn't be
printed.

Well, you'd need to patch "configure.ac", because "configure" is
auto-generated from "configure.ac". However, since this seems like an
iodbc bug to me, I'd suggest that you contact the iodbc people to get it
fixed upstream. Meanwhile, you could write your own iodbc-config
replacement/wrapper script that returns the correct string, "-liodbc
-liodbcinst".
