For /hipster the "official" way to rebuild illumos-gate is using 
components/illumos/illumos-gate component 
(https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/tree/oi/hipster/components/illumos/illumos-gate)
from oi-userland. It generates environment necessary for nightly.sh 
(look at Makefile).
Not so sure about /dev. It seems that 
https://hg.openindiana.org/sustaining/oi_151a/illumos-gate/ is used now. 
I think that Jon's intention was to use 
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/illumos-gate in the future ,
but I'm not sure if it's actually used now.
