ebuild modifications

I tried to install prefix on my workstation during the last week. These are my obesrvation:
- compilation of many packages fails with default setup,
- most issues are result of ebuilds not including -lsocket -nsl libraries
- linking sometime fails as a result of unknown SUN* version methods, which are available only in /lib/libz.so

After trial and error I was able to install prefix with modifications from attached patch.

Any way I could test this?

Solaris 11.x has further complications which make it an impossible target for Gentoo Prefix.  Use a derivative like OpenIndiana or Tribblix instead.
