Does anyone face the same issue for the latest master archer c7 v2 target? I have raised an issue, but I am wondering why there is nothing similar posted yet.

this is the same as #6993

Building the latest master for ar71xx_generic_DEVICE_archer-c7-v2 on Ubuntu 18.04.1
with config from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ar71xx/generic/config.seed
fails with error

Same on imx6-generic target. To work around: turn off kmod-openvswitch* in "Kernel Modules > Network Support" if it's appropriate for you.

Or you can select Unbound to be built, this is a known issue but no workaround is known
