ERROR: tools/tar failed to build.
make -r world: build failed. Please re-run make with -j1 V=s or V=sc for a higher verbosity level to see what's going on

make -j1 V=s

Pure guess for the reason: you are trying to do the build as root.
OpenWrt needs to be built by a non-root account at the buildhost.
