oh, that looks rather invalid mixture of gb_Executable_use_libraries and
a parameter intended for _add_libs...

i've added it there recently when ploum tried to build on Solaris,
because apparently some of the socket and DNS related functions that are
usually found in libc on Linux are in these separate "nsl" and "socket"
libraries on Solaris; perhaps it is nicer to explicitly add these in
just the places where they are needed (and there are already various
makefiles that add them), but for getting an initial port working this
should be the easiest way.

by the way it shouldn't be necessary to link against "dl" on Solaris 10
and later because these functions have been moved into libc.
