Finally was able to compile though there are few changes happened like:
root@gw:~# pihole -v
Pi-hole version is v4.0 (Latest: v4.0)
AdminLTE version is v4.0 (Latest: v4.0)
FTL version is v4.0-dirty (Latest: v4.0)
what does dirty means ?
running ldd now is not empty

ya right it was permission issue, my /etc/sudoers/pihole is blank i simply add
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/pihole and admin console status is now active
i have another issue at the moment looks like my pihole-FTL.db file is empty it just sits at 24k file size, and my pihole dashboard stats resets to zero everytime pihole is restarted.

Everything is as expected. Please try stoping pihole-FT, deleting /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.dband restartingpihole-FTL`. It is very strange that it doesn't store data...
still no luck, file size remains at 24k, i already change ownership from root:root to nobody:root, pihole:pihole and permission from 0766 to 0777 blocking is working though as stats is showing in pihole admin dashboard but when pihole restarts everything is gone and stats will start from the beginning
Delete the database file (just to be sure to start afresh)
Start pihole-FTL not using service... but manually with:
pihole-FTL debug
In debug mode, pihole-FTL will not go into daemon mode and will keep running in the foreground of your terminal. Its logging is much more verbose. Every minute, you should see a line like
yes got some and pihole-FTL.db file size starts incrementing to 40K but after debugging mode file size is stuck again at 40K after manually running pihole

This is weird. I'll have to check if there are any errors that are handled differently in debugging mode, but that shouldn't matter.
You said earlier that pihole-FTL seems to be running as user nobody. Is this also the case for when you start it manually? It may be that your service files are run as user nobody with root permissions? It something I haven't seen before, so this is mostly wild guessing...
