Hello, I think I was going down the same track as you and wanting to use certificates with nginx so I am glad you have made this guide.
I'm not an expert by any means, so I am following your steps but not completely sure what I am doing.

I was getting stuck at the step

make menuconfig

When I entered this from the SDK root folder I got these errors.

me@ubuntu:~/OpenWrt-SDK-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2.Linux-x86_64$ make menuconfig
tmp/.config-package.in:8:warning: ignoring type redefinition of 'PACKAGE_base-files' from 'boolean' to 'tristate'
tmp/.config-package.in:54:warning: ignoring type redefinition of 'PACKAGE_busybox' from 'boolean' to 'tristate'
feeds/base/package/utils/busybox/config/Config.in:818: glob failed: No files found "package/utils/busybox/config/libbb/Config.in"
/home/me/OpenWrt-SDK-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2.Linux-x86_64/include/toplevel.mk:116: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1

I have resolved this by making a symbolic link in the package folder that points to the feeds/base/package/utils folder as follows:

ln -s ../feeds/base/package/utils package/utils

I noticed that you have this step later on before running 'make' on the customised build.

menuconfig then runs OK

Last problem - which I have also resolved.

I ended up with a small pile of .ipk files which I was able to scp to the router.

When I attempt to install them with:

opkg install *.ipk

I ended up with a lot of error messages like this:

Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_pkg: Package ldconfig sha256sum mismatch. Either the opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package ldconfig.
 * opkg_install_pkg: Package ldd sha256sum mismatch. Either the opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package ldd.
...<snip>.

I used the --force-checksum option with opkg to make it ignore the checksum like this:

opkg install --force-checksum *.ipk

this seems to install all the components but we get this warning at the end which I am going to ignore in the hope that it is something that I can safely ignore.

Collected errors:
 * resolve_conffiles: Existing conffile /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf is different from the conffile in the new package. The new conffile will be placed at /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf-opkg.

Nice work! I was going to move this off to my wiki and delete the post... But I will keep it! Thanks for replying!

That last error is telling you that the existing configuration file has modifications, so the package installer has installed the new package configuration file in a different location - /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf-opkg - so you can ignore this unless there are new configuration options you wish to use...

You might want to:

mv /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.bak
mv /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf-opkg /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
nano /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf

and configure it again with the new configuration file.
