After completing a build I am suddenly stuck trying to install
the newer illumos-gate packages into a new BE: their versioning

(2014.*, without even a leading zero which is auto-prepended to the
values I provide in illumos.sh)... Should I have to somehow enforce
larger 2014.* version numbers, or is there a way (onu?) to override
existing packages and force installation of their "namesakes" from
the on-nightly repository regardless of the version numbers?
I think you should set PKGVERS_BRANCH to something greater than
2014.0.N.N (e.g. 2014.1.0.0).
Also, leaping a bit ahead: would/should KVM work in Hipster out
of the box, including the case when Hipster itself is virtualized
by a hypervisor, or would I need to compile some other patches
into my illumos-gate? Specifically, I am interested in software
emulation for the VM anyway (ARM Linux via QEMU)?.. And also, did
anyone try (and succeed) to set up cross-compilation of Linux ARM
programs running the process under illumos/OI/Hipster, whether in
native illumos zones or in lx-branded ones, or should I look forward
to necessarily running a Linux VM as well for that task?
I tested the following patch from David:
http://www.ulx.cc/assets/source/104_interdiff.diff
It worked for me, but if I understand correctly it's just a restoration
of Sun lx/lx26 work. I think you could easily use
components/illumos/illumos-gate component from oi-userland, but you have
to apply necessary patches by hand. I'm going to add patching support
(I mean usual oi-userland prep mechanism) for this component in near
future. If you are going to use illumos-gate component, you'd better to
bump BRANCHID so that your packages would be preferred.
