The DMD compile errors are fixed now. I also created a pull 
request to enable Solaris support in druntime (again). For LDC, 
the translation of the following files in druntime is missing:

<link.h>, <elf.h>, <sys/link.h>, <sys/elf.h>

These files are required to for section support. (DMD uses 
brackets here. For FreeBSD, I used section information from ELF. 
The same code can be used for Solaris.) Any volunteers?

Phobos has still some compile errors because socket constants are 
missing. I did not yet identify the missing module.
