Use nm to list entry points of the dll, e.g.

$ nm odbc32.lib

In particular SQLDataSources shows:

00000000 I .idata$4
00000000 I .idata$5
00000000 T .text
00000000 I __imp__SQLDataSources@32
         U __IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR_ODBC32
00000000 T _SQLDataSources@32

@N suffix of a decorated name indicates the number of bytes the operation
uses for its arguments (stdcall convention).

Since you have it wrong, that suggests the version of GNADE you are using
deploys wrong types for the arguments of SQLDataSource. Which should not be
very surprising, because as I said before, MS had sufficiently changed the
ODBC API in order to accommodate 64-bit applications, which happened
*after* the last time GNADE was maintained. Possibly, you are compiling for
64-bit instead of 32-bit.

If you are up to revive GNADE ODBC, here is the MS page describing the
changes:
