-- Restarting Build x64-linux-rel because of wsl subsystem issue. Iteration: 1 - just wondering, what's this error? :-)

[patrikhuber]

I'm getting this error a lot lately, on various packages, sometimes it's also Iteration: 2.

We've found that inside WSL sometimes the compiler will fail to find include files even if they are present on disk; immediately restarting the build works around the issue so we've implemented a workaround where we'll restart the build up to 10 times if it fails with a failed to find file error.

If you have any idea about something that correlates with the issue, it would be very helpful!

I am so glad that you mentioned that!!! I have seen this suddenly over the last few days in my own project (compiled with CMake/gcc on the WSL bash), and I was thinking that I am going crazy.
I have no idea why it's happening, it does seem indeed quite random, but I do have the strong feeling that this is a somewhat new occurrence, I don't think I ever had this problem with WSL a few months ago.
May I ask whether you've reported this to the WSL team or should we report this to the WSL GitHub? (I couldn't find a related issue in a quick search.)
