I just installed it and have some notes:
- The package provides isaexec-binaries for both 32/64 bit which is
AFAIK not really necessary.
- This is especially true for odbc_config, which now outputs always the
64 bit flags on a 64 bit system. GAR has special handling for *-config
binaries to be never isaexec'ed, but here it call non-standard with
an underscore instead of a hyphen so default handling doesn't work:
   gar.pkg.mk:_ISAEXEC_EXCLUDE_FILES = $(bindir)/%-config $(bindir)/%/ 
%-config
- You could use
     MIGRATE_FILES = odbc.ini odbcinst.ini ODBCDataSources
instead of use a hardwired cswmigrateconf from files/
- When using SAMPLECONF the renaming of * to *.CSW is done  
automatically,
no need to do this manually in postinstall
- The shipped .ini files are empty. It would be nice to keep the ones
previously shipped with examples for all supported databases.

APR-Util needs a working unixodbc for his tests, so I currently
building sqliteodbc as simplest possible test.


Best regards
