Can't build serf as shared library failure in Solaris

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Problem reported on the serf mailing list:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/serf-dev/Miv9nqTg3g0

scons fails with "IndexError: list index out of range" on 'sunos' platforms. 
This is a IMO a bug in scons 2.3.0.
Workaround is to reset the PLATFORM to posix in case it was detected as sunos.

See the mailing list thread for a patch.

It seems that some work has been done in scons to resolve this issue:
https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/pull-request/186/attempt-to-fix-versionned-sha
red-library/diff

These changes haven't made it in a scons release yet, if anyone is willing to 
test a scons-trunk build with serf on Solaris that'd be great!
