Did you really do:

PATH=/opt/onbld/bin:$PATH; export PATH
ln -s usr/src/tools/scripts/bldenv.sh .
ksh93 bldenv.sh -d illumos.sh

before trying to link nightly? Because it's there for me, but first  
you have to
do the 'setup' step above, as mentioned in the guide.

Yes, there was a step once in the guide telling to remove or comment  
out from illumos.sh line that points to crypto bits. If you remove it,  
the build works without crypto.

I have not seen those errors in my builds and I build once a week.  
I'll recheck logs for your reported errors.

You seem to miss the step mentioned by me above.

I shall have a look at both illumos.sh file and build guide.
