Can't build VCMI project because of some locking problem in emscripten ports. (assert 'EM_CACHE_IS_LOCKED')

[caiiiycuk]

Hi, I found a minor problem that prevents me from building the project (VCMI). When I try to do so, I encounter a locking error while building ports. However, if I use embuild to build the ports, I can successfully build the project.

Version of emscripten/emsdk:

• emcc (Emscripten gcc/clang-like replacement + linker emulating GNU ld) 4.0.0 (97c7c2a)
• 3.1.68

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS x64

How to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/caiiiycuk/vcmi-wasm.git
cd vcmi-wasm
git checkout vcmi-wasm-1.6.3
git submodule init
git submodule update

mkdir emscripten
cd emscripten

source ~/sdk/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh 
emcmake cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel  .. 
emcc --clear-ports
ninja boost-lib tbb-lib vcmi-extras
ninja -j32 html5 // error here

error:
