I’d suggest two things to change:

(1) make OpenWRT a supported platform for Kea so that the CI/CD attempts to build it;
(2) that cross builds don’t attempt to run tests.

The defaults for tests and fuzz is “disabled”, and looking at meson.build I see:

# Google Test
GTEST_DEP = dependency(
    'gtest',
    fallback: ['gtest', 'gtest_dep'],
    required: FUZZ_OPT.enabled() or TESTS_OPT.enabled(),
)

so the tests shouldn’t run by default, correct?  But it seems like it’s trying to anyway.

What am I missing?
