Why are you building a Debian 9 system?  Debian 11 is the current stable 
release; security support for Debian 9 ended in July 202, and long-term 
support will end in June 2022.

According to the documentation at 
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Event+Socket+Library "ESL 
(libesl) is a C library that has no dependencies on FreeSWITCH, and it can be 
built, and moved to client/remote machines."

Therefore I would expect you to be able to build it directly from
https://github.com/signalwire/freeswitch/blob/master/libs/esl/src/esl.c
