I don't know nearly anything about any of this stack, but this can be avoided by commenting out a line in src/Makefile.am (then rerun the compilation steps):

diff --git a/src/Makefile.am b/src/Makefile.am
index 1c1b5df5..881151f4 100644
--- a/src/Makefile.am
+++ b/src/Makefile.am

 else
 # Memory init file is huge and it doesn't save bandwith even if using gzip.
 # It is only required when using emterpreter.
-dosbox_LDFLAGS+=--memory-init-file 0

 if ASYNCIFY
 dosbox_LDFLAGS+=-s ASYNCIFY=1 -s FETCH=1 -s ASYNCIFY_ONLY=@$(srcdir)/asyncify.txt

The build completes and i haven't noticed anything missing. From the README it looks like the "emterpreter" was deprecated long before.

Yep I made a script to just comment this out and it works!
