Hm, this gets stranger. Here is a quote from the GNU ld man pages that
may explain why this helps:

"The -rpath option is also used when locating shared objects which are 
 needed by shared objects explicitly included in the link"

So it seems like for some reason ld cannot locate libsqlite3.so (which
I assume is in /usr/local/lib) even though it can resolve -lodb-sqlite
and -lodb without any problems. Very strange.

Can you try this:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

And then run the vanilla g++ command?

As well as this (without the LD_LIBRARY_PATH):

$ g++ -L/usr/local/lib ...
