No. I'm saying that the command
odbc_config --libs
is not supported on Debian. Apparently Debian uses a different command
(pkg-config) for this purpose.

What does "should" mean?
You seriously need to find the mailing list, web forum, IRC channel,
Discord server, or WHATEVER it is, where this libodbc thing is supported.
Ask them how it's supposed to be done. I've given you my best guesses
and workarounds.
If the MAINTAINERS OF LIBODBC ITSELF say that odbc_config is supposed
to be installed and present, then it's a bug in Debian and you can
pursue that theough the Bug Tracking System.
This is the end user mailing list. Here, you get our best guesses.
But hey, would you like another workaround? OK. Go install a shell
script named odbc_config in /usr/local/bin and have it print the values
you need it to print. I bet the thing on Gentoo is a shell script.
Just don't have it print the values that Gentoo's script prints. Have
it print the correct values for Debian. They are not the same.
