It seems to build on my system:

        icterid$ make build/vc-fossil
        emacs --batch -l /home/philip/Code/src/nongnu/admin/elpa-admin.el       
\
                 -f elpaa-batch-make-one-package vc-fossil
        Cloning branch vc-fossil:
        +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/Preparing worktree (new branch 
'elpa/vc-fossil')
        HEAD is now at 7815c30d7 vc-fossil.el: Update from fossil.

Did you change the history or do you have a local commit with
"20210928.0.." as a version number?
