--- Comment #6 from Alex Thurgood <iplaw67 at tuta.io> ---
I've been exchanging with ActualTechnologies (ODBC driver for macOS) on this.

Their take on this is that it is a bug with BigSur:

"After an in-depth investigation, we have discovered that Big Sur has a bug
that causes LibreOffice to fail to load the ODBC libraries.

The work around is to remove the "code signing" from the LibreOffice
application, which will allow it to load the libraries on Big Sur.  "Code
signing" is an important part of an application when it is first installed,
which ensures that the application was downloaded from a reputable source. 
However, once the LibreOffice application has been successfully installed, the
"code signing" can be safely removed since it doesn't serve a purpose at that
point.

We have created a simple utility that will remove the code signing from your
installed LibreOffice application, which will allow you to use ODBC.  Please
download and launch the "LibreOffice Unsigner" available from our website:

http://www.actualtech.com/downloads/libreoffice_unsigner.dmg

Once you have completed the installation, restart LibreOffice.  You should then
be able to use ODBC data sources.

Please let me know if you have any questions or encounter any issues."
