Check your build.log file.
code /esp_open_sdk/crosstool-NG/build.log

in order to compile crosstool-NG, the make file is using the scripts found
in this folder: /opt/esp-open-sdk/crosstool-NG/scripts/build/companion_libs/
to download dependencies to /esp-open-sdk/crosstool-NG/.build/tarballs/

Manually download the required files and copy them into /esp-open-sdk/crosstool-NG/.build/tarballs/

run make

Probably not related to the error you describe, but for the benefit of anyone trying to build this on recent Ubuntu (e.g. 21.10) and having trouble: I had to collect fixes from various places, plus my own fix for a compile error in gcc-4.8.5. The end result (which gets me a clean build on Ubuntu 21.10 of an apparently working toolchain) can be found here:

Thank you Sir for your patching work, your repo, and your message here that pointed it out !

I am running linux Mint 21 which is based on Ubunty Jammy. In addition to your repo, because of the python replacement, I had to:

• install the python3-is-python-dev package so that the build will finish successfully
• replace the esptool directory with https://github.com/espressif/esptool, in the root of the esp-open-sdk
• install python3-serial instead of python-serial
  Hope this helps !

I haven't tried the other forks yet since I am building an old application.
