The actual cause of the error should be further down in the output, after
all the ENV lines. I'd guess it's failing to compile because it's missing
some apt package(s). The `ring` crate is a cryptography library built using
some of the C/C++ code from BoringSSL, do you have a working C++ compiler
installed?

I'll try to reproduce it in a little bit.
