Executing /home/leon/.nvm/versions/node/v16.0.0/bin/node /home/leon/Code/shared-music-db/node_modules/fibers/build as opposed results in an node-gyp error code 1 and the hint to use a supported platform and node version.

When switching to node v.15.14.0 (via nvm use 15), everything works fine. This happens with two of my own flareact projects.

Link to a minimal reproduction:

Just take any Flareact Repo and execute npm i and npm run dev when using node v16.0.0.

EDIT: It seems like node-fibers actually stopped working as of April 13th, 2021 as mentioned in the README.md of https://github.com/laverdet/node-fibers. It does not seems like that the project will be maintained any longer.
