How to fix it?

First you built with normal user
and you need for openwrt builtroot this installed debian8 = Debian 8 ?

apt-get install python python2.7 perl imagemagick subversion git gcc g++ binutils autoconf automake libtool-bin make bzip2 libncurses5-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev flex bison patch texinfo tofrodos gettext pkg-config realpath libstring-crc32-perl gawk libusb-dev unzip intltool libacl1-dev libcap-dev libc6-dev libglib2.0-dev unzip wget curl zip libssl-dev

than try make dirclean ; make defconfig ; make V=s -j1

I change from root  into normal user `debian8` ,then retry it.

debian8@hwy:~/openwrt$  make dirclean

Fix permissions you broke using root before.

sudo chown -R debian8:debian8 /home/debian8/openwrt

Edit: apparently debian8 is the username and hwy the host, fixed above command.
