Building current release for RT-AC56U fails

[qus]

Hello,

Due to firmware bug of my fresh IcyDock, I need to patch some code and compile my own Merlin. I'm using this guide:

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Compile-Firmware-from-source-using-Ubuntu

Unfortunately the "manual" way (with just make) fails with:

make[7]: Entering directory `/root/asuswrt-merlin/release/src/router/lighttpd-1.4.29/src'

And the automated (with debian-build-image) fails with... erm... just finished... exactly the same error.

Build environments were always my nightmate, I'm make-illiterate. Any help would be appreciated!

It's all in there:

Indeed, it is. But it doesn't say how to fix it, or am I partially blind? If it is complaining about missing uclibc for arm architecture how do I install it?

But the real problem is this very directory exists:
