When you have a git clone, the build process will presume the ability to use git describe in order to determine the version number. This will fail if you have a shallow clone (which you will have due to --depth=1).

You can avoid this problem by using either a full (non-shallow) git clone, or a non-git source archive such as https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
