Make file compilation - world error

I have been trying to compile a make file as given in the documentation for past few days...Though running into different post in forum still I can't figure out the solution.
I tried in different systems Ubuntu 18.04 as well as 18.04 in Virtual machine which gave similar errors...

command used

make V=s -j1

Please use master branch (preferably) or stable instead of something that's really old and unsupported.

I changed the repository to stable branch using

git checkout openwrt-18.06

Also updated the gnu make from version 4.1 to 4.2 and tried compiling but still the Error keeps coming with few other warnings

Check free space on your drive.

Thanks @tmomas and @diizzy your fix helped in compiling the image. The problem is less space in the home directory so when I sorted that the compilation worked fine...
