Errors suggest compilation of the OpenSSL library fails as pod2man 
on your system (perl 5.18?) doesn't like one of OpenSSL's pod 
files.  Try looking, e.g., here:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35868

There seems to be a patch for OpenSSL there.  Alternatively, 
do something like

cd /tmp/compile/openssl-1.0.1e && make install_sw

and then continue building nginx.  It should bypass OpenSSL's 
documentation processing this way, and nginx should be built 
without problems (not tested though).
