It's building all right - the problem you see is that there are some tests
(4) failures:
not ok 1 parallel/test-assert
not ok 1428 parallel/test-repl-preprocess-top-level-await
not ok 1447 parallel/test-repl-top-level-await
not ok 2181 parallel/test-net-listen-after-destroying-stdin

repl and net failures might happen depending on your build env.
If i were you i'd simply mark them as FLAKY (there is a debian patch doing
similar changes).

Build tests failures are ignored (see debian/rules) if you build with
experimental distribution or UNRELEASED,
so i suggest you do the build like that, then see if, once installed,
node test/parallel/test-assert.js
reports the same error or not. Likewise for the other errors.
If it doesn't then just shut the failure using the technique in the patch.
It it still does then it's a good idea to report it upstream.
