ROMfs error in building px4_sitl after toolchain installation

I have followed the toolchain installation process given for ubuntu 18.04 in Ubuntu Development Environment | PX4 User Guide, however when I try to
make px4_sitl gazebo
I am facing the following error :

FAILED: etc/init.d/rc.serial etc/init.d/rc.autostart etc/init.d/rc.autostart.post ROMFS/romfs_copy.stamp 

I had to install gazebo 9 and a couple of modules as it had not been installed by the ubuntu.sh script in Tools/setup, and I am using the main branch of the px4-autopilot repo.
Here is my terminal output after I execute the make px4-sitl gazebo command :

@barracuda I am facing the same issues but with ignition gazebo. Any luck with yours?

I am getting the same error, using the Cygwin Toolchain on windows to build PX4 v1.12.3. I think it is a Cmake error, as the ‘tar’ command was not introduced until Cmake 3.18. Problem is I haven’t figured out how to upgrade my Cmake inside the toolchain… any luck with this? Or is there another solution?
