I encountered a variant of #157 while installing Erlang 23.1.1. It manifested as the following symptoms:
The install seemingly hung mid installation, but pressing Enter caused the installation to proceed
The error from #157 ('in6addr_any' follows non-static declaration) was encountered.
I tried running with KERL_DEBUG=1 and saw the same behavior. But, on a failed install, it suggested I check the log at ~/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_23.1.1/otp_build_23.1.1.log. I opened this file, and the same error appeared.
When I attempted to install again, the file was overwritten, but when the build hung, I saw the reason in the log file. patch was waiting for an interactive input:

I'm not sure what's broken here, but it appears that Kerl is trying to patch something that's already been patched, and is reversing it instead.
Edit: I believe I also followed the steps in this comment earlier: https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-erlang/issues/195#issuecomment-849110313
