PSA: Versions newer than 2021.08 will not build. Starting at 2021.11, build will fail with
make: *** No rule to make target 'conf/crosstool/gcc-4.9.2/uClibc-ng-1.0.38/crosstool.x86_64.config', needed by '/home/robin/onie-build/build/x-tools/x86_64-g4.9.2-lnx3.2.69-uClibc-ng-1.0.38/build/.config'. Stop.
Download DUE (do not use the one from debian repos, it's v3.0 as of time of writing and too old) Create buildenv with DUE
mkdir onie
cd onie
git clone https://github.com/CumulusNetworks/DUE
cd DUE
./due --create --platform linux/amd64 --name onie-build-debian-9 --prompt ONIE-9 --tag onie-9 --use-template onie --from debian:9 --description 'ONIE Build Debian 9' --image-patch debian/9/filesystem
cd ..
Populate the cache.. it will make things much more bearable, especially if you have to go back and rebuild or want to build for a different switch.
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/onie/download
cd /var/cache/onie/download
sudo wget --recursive --cut-dirs=2 --no-host-directories --no-parent --reject="index.html" "http://mirror.opencompute.org/onie"
cd <your top-level onie directory>
it will take about 10 minutes... Total size of downloads is about 3.9GB and the opencompute mirror seems to rate limit you after some time?
Time to get started...

# Now from container shell:
# For some reason, the DUE default git config does not work... This is taken from the DUE template

Adjust the -j128 to your amount of cores.
This will take a while. About 15 minutes on my 128-Core 2x EPYC 7773X machine.
You will find the resulting file in <your top-level onie directory>/onie-build/build/images/:
cel_seastone-r0.initrd
cel_seastone-r0.vmlinuz
demo-diag-installer-x86_64-cel_seastone-r0.bin
