Patching of that file failed so look in that directory for a .rej file and see what has failed, probably the patch has to be rebased.

It could also be that the patch is not necessary anymore because of upstream update you can see what failed and if it is already in the original file

Or manually make the correct file and make a patch of that

Found the .rej file

Not sure of the rebasing or checking upstream
Or Tis it 'selinuxenabled' is not ??
Using the mirror-03.infra.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.4/targets/mediatek/filogic/config.buildinfo
as a config with a make oldconfig or makeb deconfig

I moved 010-wsl2.patch out of the patch dir and it compiles.
But I like the patch, lol.
I installed meson python3-mesonpy, but no help.
I think I'm missing some host stuff maybe

Then look into the original file around line 229.
The patch tries to find this line:

Maybe the line is already patched or moved.

It's the OSError the patch adds
It errors out because something is not right on the host I think
