export SYBASE=/usr
python setup.py build_ext -D HAVE_FREETDS -U WANT_BULKCOPY -I/usr/include/freetds

This worked for me.  



Steering you towards freetds may have been a mistake.  I had no idea
that client software from sybase.com was an option.

My Ubuntu (9.4) provides python-pymssql which claims to work with both
sybase and mssql servers.  (I'm using it for mssql so I can't vouch for
sybase effectiveness.
