Yes, I have to admit that the situation is, well, funny at the least...

But, if you had attached the .config file, it would have been easier to
understand the problem.

You did not configure a directory where to save/retrieve tarballs to/from.
Will fix the message.

Reason: the top-most debug frame in bash does not say what line it failed
at, only the file the error happened in.

Line 231 is where the install directory is created. Either you don't have
rights to create the specified directory, or you forgot to configure it.

Either way, the error message ought to be more explicit, right.

The build.log file is created in the install directory, which is not yet
created. Hence it has no name so far.
