Raspi 2 Bookworm hang on first boot, Raspi 1,3 Trixie Make error?

[Fan Naibed]

I would appreciate any pointers towards fixes for these issues.

Issue 1: Bookworm raspi 2 image was flashed onto SD card and booted.
IIRC it was the June tested version. First boot was left running nearly
24 hours, but never gave a command prompt. After power cycling, the
raspi2 gave a prompt and worked OK except the SD card was only partly
available.

As Testing is the target distribution for raspis 1-4, and issues have
been seen with the Bookworm images, it was decided to try Rolling your
own Trixie images.[1]

Minor docs issue: On a relatively fresh install of Trixie on amd64, git
and make needed installed, in addition to packages listed at [2], which
is linked from Rolling your own Installation...[1]

Issue 2: Default image creation for raspi 1 and 3 gave the following
error and traceback. raspi_2 and 4 completed OK, but have not been
burned or tested yet. The steps in Option 2: Building your own image [2]
were followed.

Issue 3: The make process took about 1 to 1.5 hours for each raspi_N on
an old laptop, and the time to download packages may be slowing it down.
How can the packages be downloaded and saved for re-use to speed things
up?

Log excerpt with error and traceback, raspi_3 was identical except date,
time, and naming:
