The 'no plugin found' messages inform you that the component could not
open fd 2 (= stderr). You have to point the libc to the VFS node that
provides stderr (see [1]). I suspect libcrypto wants to print some
error message. On a side note, our libcrypto port uses the normal POSIX
backend and wants to use '/dev/random'. Therefore you have to configure
the VFS to provide this node.

Note that there is currently no random source besides an older version
of the jitterentropy RNG [2] available on Genode. So, for all use cases
that go beyond mere experimentation, the generated keys should be
considered as insecure if you only use this as source.
