TL-WN881ND_2.0_LinuxDriverSetup Does not build with newer Linux version

Instructions are for
OSUbuntu 16.04
LTSKernel version 4.13.0-36-generic
Gcc version5.4.0
Even for Debian Stretch, which is a few versions behind newest release, the gcc version refuses to build the source files. This is advertised as a linux compatible device. However it really doesn't seem to be.
I'm running:
Linux version 4.9.0-14-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.9.240-2 (2020-10-30)
Here is the output from make.
