Hello gentlemen,
the point is that the long "o" in solder is pronounced in US english
like "aw" in a common process known as delabilisation or unrounding.
This phenomenon is known in other languages, too, e.g. in Russian ("eto"
is pronounced like "eta"). The same is true with "lot" or "bother". As a
consequence, the "l" is omitted in pronounciation. The British still
speak an "o" as an "o" and keep the "l" alive.
