I'm not even sure this is a prefix problem. Apparently the configure script checks for libevent.a, which hasn't been installed by default since somewhere in 2010. I patched nylon up a bit to use pkgconfig instead of relying on arbitrary files being found, so please give =net-proxy/nylon-1.21-r1 a spin.
Sorry abut replaying so late. "=net-proxy/nylon-1.21-r1" does not have the problem anymore.
