Hi,

I'm getting below errors while trying to connect IBM DB2 from 64-bit
Cygwin. Please find the below mentioned details.

1)Trying to compile the program using DB2_LIBRARY="C:/Program
Files/IBM/SQLLIB/lib/db2api.lib" on 64-bit Cygwin.

*ERROR:*
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/11/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: *internal
error:* aborting at
/mnt/share/cygpkgs/binutils/binutils.x86_64/src/binutils-2.40/ld/ldlang.c:527
in compare_section
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/11/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: *please
report this bug*


2)When Trying to compile using DB2_LIBRARY="C:/Program
Files/IBM/SQLLIB/lib/Win32/db2api.lib" on 64-bit Cygwin.

*ERROR:*
undefined reference to `sqlacall'
undefined reference to `sqlastop'
undefined reference to `sqlaaloc'
undefined reference to `sqlasetdata'
undefined reference to `sqlastrt'

[*Note :* the same is working fine on 32 bit Cygwin using
DB2_LIBRARY="C:/Program Files/IBM/SQLLIB/lib/Win32/db2api.lib"]

3)Compilation is done but getting an error while Trying to connect IBM DB2
using DB2_LIBRARY="C:/Program Files/IBM/SQLLIB/BIN/db2app64.dll" on 64-bit
Cygwin.

*ERROR:*
sqlcode=*808517647*

This "*sqlcode=808517647*" error code looks like an abnormal error and it
is not present in db2 documents.

*Details:*
