I was able to build fossil on opensolaris b124.

This seems to depend on the OpenSolaris version. i added those lines about a year ago, and -lnsl wasn't needed on the Nexenta OpenSolaris i used at the time. i don't remember if it was an error to link against it, though.

at least following diff need to be applied, I think. ie, "lsocket" need to be typed as "-lsocket".

< # LIB += -lsocket --- > # LIB += lsocket

Please apply following patch to Makefile. I tested on on Solaris 10(sparc and x86) and OpenSolaris 124 up to 130 revision.

This is the new patch for OpenSolaris 130, zlib need to be described in LIB variable.
