When building ISC Bind on SmartOS, it breaks as it wants /usr/ccs/bin/nm, which is in /usr/bin now but not symlinked from /usr/ccs/bin - in fact /usr/ccs/bin is very empty on SmartOS:

# ls -l /usr/ccs/bin
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 3 Sep 6 19:29 amd64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 12 19:30 ld -> ../../bin/ld
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 12 19:30 m4 -> ../../bin/m4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Sep 12 19:30 regcmp -> ../../bin/regcmp

Given these just symlink back to ../../bin equivalents, you could do what alanc reports has been done on S11 and symlink /usr/ccs/bin to /usr/bin.
