Build Error C2338 using VS2019 and x86 configuration for node.js 18.x #3869

Details

I try to compile node.js 18.x from the sources. As described I installed VS2019 (latest version), NASM and Python 3.10.4 on my windows machine.

The x64 build works nicely. The x86 build fails (on several machines). I get an compile error code C2338. I run the following command vcbuild.bat package x86. When I run vcbuild.bat package x64 everything is fine.

Is the documentation incomplete or do I miss some tools needed for building node.js 18.x (14.x and 16.x I can build in x86 and x64)

The following errors are shown on the command line
