Link to the code that reproduces this issue

https://github.com/RobertKoval/issue_nextjs

To Reproduce

1) Create a new project using npx create-next-app@latest 2) run npx next build

Current vs. Expected behavior

I expected the project to compile, but instead, I encountered an error:

(node:9416) ExperimentalWarning: CommonJS module /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/debug/src/node.js is loading ES Module /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/supports-color/index.js using require().
Support for loading ES Module in require() is an experimental feature and might change at any time
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

I tried with different NodeJS versions, v21.7.3 and v22.11.0 works fine.

I have this same issue with a brand new project with no edits just npx create-next-app@latest buildtest and then npm run build fails with

❯ npm run build

> buildtest@0.1.0 build
> next build
