I committed a fix for this and a bunch of other issues on Solaris. One
issue remains:

Compiling nmap
rm -f nmap
g++ -Llibpcap -Lnbase -Lnsock/src/ -o nmap main.o nmap.o targets.o tcpip.o nmap_error.o utils.o idle_scan.o osscan.o osscan2.o output.o scan_engine.o timing.o charpool.o services.o protocols.o nmap_rpc.o portlist.o NmapOps.o TargetGroup.o Target.o FingerPrintResults.o service_scan.o NmapOutputTable.o MACLookup.o nmap_tty.o nmap_dns.o traceroute.o portreasons.o nse_main.o nse_auxiliar.o nse_nsock.o nse_init.o nse_nmaplib.o nse_debug.o nse_pcrelib.o nse_string.o -lnbase -lnsock libpcre/libpcre.a -lpcap libdnet-stripped/src/.libs/libdnet.a liblua/liblua.a -lnsl -lsocket

I can make the problem go away by adding -ldl to LIBS in Makefile. But
isn't this the same thing as

http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q4/0195.html

Is solving this as simple as adding

AC_SEARCH_LIBS(dlopen, dl)

to configure.ac when liblua is built? That works for me in this case.
