error: libtool: no files specified

Additional information

In https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v26.4.0/node.gyp#L1087-L1113, no C++ sources are provided for 'target_name': '<(node_lib_target_name)', so the arguments for libtool is empty (Should be bunch of .o files).

Compare the sources list for 'target_name': '<(node_lib_target_name)' in Node v25: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v25.9.0/node.gyp#L888-L913
