This is not going to give the correct linker arguments. It's going to
spit out a -L option which is totally unneeded, and worse, the *content*
of that -L option is going to depend on where the operating system thinks
the script has been "installed".
If the script is "installed" in /usr/local/bin/odbc_config, it's going
to spit out -L/usr/local/lib -lodbc.
As the script itself says,

So, why not use the "standard odbc_config", whatever that is?
Again, this really needs to be taken up with the upstream maintainers of
the library, and with the Debian maintainer(s) of the Debian packages of
the library.
