[libgraal] Failed to build graalVM.

[anadi-mitra]

Describe the issue
I am new to graalVM and currently trying to build graalVM ce using graal/vm$ mx --env ce build but fails every time with unfamiliar error:
ninja: error: build.ninja:24: loading '/home/anadi/mx/mxbuild/linux-amd64/DEFAULT_NINJA_TOOLCHAIN/toolchain.ninja': No such file or directory.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Please include both build steps as well as run steps

1. git clone https://github.com/graalvm/mx.git
2. export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/mx
3. git clone https://github.com/oracle/graal.git
4. mx fetch-jdk
5. git clone https://github.com/oracle/graal
6. cd graal/vm
7. mx --env ce build

Describe GraalVM and your environment:

• GraalVM commit: e53decb
• OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 25+3-jvmci-b01)
• Ubuntu 22.04
• AMD64
• mx version 7.36.5

More details
I was adding new phases to graalVM and ran mx build in graal/compiler/ and graal/truffle/ but while running polyglot programs it reports that interpreter only mode is being used since libgraal is not present.
So to build libgraal I ran graal/vm$ mx --env libgraal build that resulted into the below error.

anadi@server:~/docker-wd/graalOracle/vm$ mx --env ce build

5 non-default dependencies were removed from build (use -v to list them, mx build --all to build them)

I also tried --dynamicimport with mx.
