Ok, seems like this happens only for some repositories and lacking a clean and minimal repro I'll close it and comeback if I can find a pattern to the madness.
------ EDIT ----
And for anyone finding this issue later.
I don't know why but it seems like the culprit here is
prebuild-installif you end up with 7.1.2 you'll get the undefined issue on 22.14 but not 22.13.Ensuring you have 7.1.3 will lead to great success.

Not a minimal repro but we're experiencing the same issue in CI here.

This seemed to be a result of the increased API version (#55676) which caused inspiredware/napi-build-utils#6.
This has been fixed in the meantime (inspiredware/napi-build-utils#7) and incorporated in
prebuild-install(prebuild/prebuild-install#204), so when the latest version is used, it should work correctly again.drunkcod commentedon Feb 28, 2025
I found this solution:

Essentially what you probably want to to is to either forcefully regenerate any frozen lockfiles you got or do a install of
prebuild-installwith a version of7.1.3or above and ensure it's replacing whatever you got.Work around recent breakage of @mongodb-js/zstd install

We are facing this issue with
node:24-slimandnode:24-trixie-slimalso recently. So, this issue might not only be related toNode 22.
