The list of files included in the build from illumos is based on the
'manifest' file in the root of the illumos-joyent repository. Adding to
them will allow you to proceed.

I suspect that option 2 will provide you a better long-term experience
and that you should fork them from illumos and do what you want to work
in an arbitrary prefix. Especially as you'll likely need to come up with
something to handle all the existing packages that might assume /usr is
writable. This also gets you out of having to build a custom release.
