The normal way would be to add SUNWpublic to usr/src/lib/libc/port/mapfile-vers
when building libc.  I don't know if there's an easy way to do it afterwards
with elfedit.

Of course, then you're left with figuring out if whatever symbols texlive
needs from that version are present in libc - which they may well be as
Solaris & illumos have both added some common libc functions over the years.
You can do that by adding the -s option to the pvs command you ran.

For example:
% pvs -vs /usr/lib/libX11.so
         libc.so.1 (SUNWpublic):
                 inet_ntop;
                 freeaddrinfo;
                 __xnet_getaddrinfo;
                 setsockopt;
                 gai_strerror;
                 __xnet_getsockopt;
                 getsockname;
                 __xnet_connect;
                 __xnet_socket;
                 shutdown;
                 getpeername;
                 inet_pton;
                 reallocarray;
[...]

Most of those come from the merger of libsocket & libnsl into libc on
Solaris 11.4, while reallocarray is a function both OS'es (and the new
POSIX standard) have added.

Current Solaris just adds new public symbols to SUNWpublic without a
version number, like has always been done with the SUNWprivate set.
Keeping version numbers got too messy with all the backports from
Solaris 11 to 10, and didn't really add any useful benefits, so it
was dropped.
