I believe you can edit the extralibs.all file (in
blib/arch/auto/Sybase/extralibs.all) and add -R/opt/sybase/lib to what's
already there:

kiruna (1:19pm):208 > cat blib/arch/auto/Sybase/extralibs.all 
-R/opt/sybase/lib
-L/opt/sybase/lib -lct -lcs -ltcl -lcomn -lintl -ltli -lm
-L/opt/sybase/lib -lsybdb -ltli -lm



However - is it really necessary to build sybperl statically?

If you use Apache you could add

SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/sybase/lib

in one of the config files (maybe httpd.conf) to avoid the wrapper
problem too.
