Oh, yes, definitely. Blow away your build directory, your install-root directory and any other build artifact that you have. You have to restart with a fresh build. Big Sur breaks a lot of things (and is IMHO the worst macOS release since OS 9 - I haven't upgraded a single system to it with the exception of that one build VM... BigSur breaks so many things, so many devices, including trivial stuff like wired ethernet adapters, HDMI adapters, tons of software... and depending on how things go, in the "upgrade" you sometimes end up with a complete second set of all apps in some random directory, including a second system preferences app, which prevents system preferences from working with inanely stupid non-sensical error messages... what a mess) /D
