That honestly sounds like something went wrong earlier - things like
doing a system upgrade in the middle of the build, or perhaps running
out of disk space or similar.

I've not seen any other reports of the same, and google doesn't find
anything like that either.

Does it keep happening if you do a "git clean -dqfx" to make sure you
have no old corrupt object files sound and re-do the whole build?
