Without actually describing the errors you're getting and the
procedure that led to them, there's not much hope to guess what the
cause is.

musl does not support out-of-tree builds. That should probably be
documented explicitly somewhere, but I don't think it is. Sorry. We'd
like to add support for this at some point but there were buggy corner
cases when nsz tried, and the work on this has been put aside for the
time being. So for now you need to build it in-tree. You can duplicate
your tree before building if you want to keep a clean tree, but "make
distclean" should return your build tree to a clean state too.
