      I attempted to install archive-dist-test locally using ninja, and I seem to be running into an issue:

      (python3-venv) ubuntu@ip-10-122-6-84 ~/mongo (SERVER-59012) $ ninja archive-dist-test -j 600
[1/1 (100%) 0.005s] Building build/opt/pkgs/mongodb-binaries.tgz

/bin/tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
Try '/bin/tar --help' or '/bin/tar --usage' for more information.
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

      Installing with plain SCons still works correctly, so this issue seems specific to ninja.
