That's already better than the old and short error messages, but I still
don't know what's going on.

From the last line, you can see that the error is from "www/esbuild",
not from "www/chromium", but that was already apparent from the original
short error message.

To get further context, you can set the environment variable
MAKE_STACK_TRACE=yes to see how pkgsrc goes from building www/chromium
to www/esbuild.

make -C /usr/pkgsrc/www/chromium -v GITHUB_SUBMODULES

No idea why there would be an additional word in this variable.

make -C /usr/pkgsrc/www/esbuild \
    -v USE_TOOLS \
    -v _USE_TOOLS

You could also insert some ".info" lines into mk/tools/replace.mk around
line 93, where _USE_TOOLS is prepared, and around line 159. Or, if that
doesn't provide enough information:

.MAKEFLAGS: -dcpv
# Between these lines, all make(1) conditions, parsed lines,
# variable assignments and evaluations are logged.
.MAKEFLAGS: -d0

That's still for finding out what happens in detail.
