I have Oracle 11g on a UNIX server and Sybase ASE 12.5.1 on a separate UNIX (Solaris) server. I want to set up a Database Gateway to access Sybase from Oracle. The Oracle documentation mentions a Windows OS is required to set up DG4ODBC to access Sybase. Am I reading this correctly? Am I out of luck?

Unless & until you post the URL to documentation, I can't decide about correctness or completeness.

Depends on the "Unix" flavour somewhat. In Linux it was relatively painless to get Oracle talk to SQL Server (which also uses the TDS-Protocol Sybase uses) with http://www.unixodbc.org/ and http://www.freetds.org/.

I managed to get it working on AIX once, too, but that pretty much took ages and some modifications of the source code. If your Unix has UnixODBC and FreeTDS packages, then it might be easier.

Here is the documentation I used back then.
