Can't tell for sure, but (from past experience) this sounds like either a combination of:

Possible cause #1:

• A script failing to properly wrap something like $PWD in double-quotes when accessing it.
• The script being called from a directory with characters in it (such as a space or a quote) that needs to be quoted. Since you are using WSL, I often would suspect that you may have the project on a Windows drive.

OR

Possible cause #2:

• A script failing to properly wrap $PATH in double-quotes when modifying it.
• And, since you have this tagged WSL, the Windows path having characters in the path (like spaces) that always need quoting.
• And, the interop feature of WSL that automatically appends the Windows path to the Linux path at startup so that you can run Windows commands (assuming the .exe is included) such as powershell.exe, Visual Studio Code, and (of course) many others.

In the first case, try building in a different directory, preferably something like ~/src.

In the second case ...

Usually I would recommend finding and fixing the quoting issue as the first step, but:

1. These aren't your scripts
2. You don't need to fix this on a permanent basic, just while you are building.

So in this case, I'd recommend trying the build with the Windows path propagation turned off (temporarily). To do this:
