Dear all,
I am writing as I am currently trying to compile an image of OpenWrt 21.02.1, for an ARM target and with musl as default C standard library.
I was able to successfully select all the needed packages with make menuconfig, and to start the build procedure with make.
As I need to use Docker on the target platform, I also included Docker, which, through a chain of dependencies, seems to select also the python-cryptography package.
This package, however, is always failing to compile, apparently due to an error caused by setuptools.
The error is the following (I report here the output of make V=s):
Requirement already satisfied: cffi==1.14.6 in /mnt/xtra/openwrt/staging_dir/hostpkg/lib/python3.9/site-packages (from -r ../host-pip-requirements/cffi.txt (line 1)) (1.14.6)

If you are seeing a compilation error please try the following steps to
successfully install cryptography:
1) Upgrade to the latest pip and try again. This will fix errors for most
users. See: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#upgrading-pip
2) Read https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation.html for specific
instructions for your platform.
3) Check our frequently asked questions for more information:
https://cryptography.io/en/latest/faq.html
4) Ensure you have a recent Rust toolchain installed:
https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation.html#rust
5) If you are experiencing issues with Rust for *this release only* you may
set the environment variable `CRYPTOGRAPHY_DONT_BUILD_RUST=1`.

After some unsuccesful debugging, as a last resort, I tried upgrading pip on the device in which I am running the build system (with Ubuntu 20 LTS and gcc/g++ 9.4.0), but, unfortunately, this did not solve the issue.
Do you know if this could possibly be a bug which should be reported? Or could this be due to some misconfiguration when selecting all the packages with make menuconfig?
Thank you very much in advance!
