Hi, I just ran into an issue building this for a 1st gen Raspberry pi. This was working previously (last week), but I foolishly had unattended-upgrades enabled, and now I can't load the driver after a restart.

From: sudo apt install -f:

I ran another apt-get update, and after updating/rebuilding amneziawg-tools this appears to have been resolved.
Not really sure what specifically fixed this, but at least it's working.
