"openfl build emscripten" error on Ubuntu

I’am on Ubuntu, with emsdk 1.38.14, lime 6.4.0, openfl 8.3.0.
When I build the openfl-sample BunnyMark with “openfl build emscripten”, unfortunately, the following error occurs:

I think I built using Emscripten 1.36 or 1.37 before, but I have seen this error with newer versions. I tried and tried to find the cause, but honestly, as far as I could tell at the time, we were not using SIMD. In fact, I don’t even remember it working when I tried to use ASM.js instead of WASM :sweat:
