I get this error when I build the code using my fork of StackExchange.Precompilation - https://github.com/MarkKharitonov/StackExchange.Precompilation
So I took it (following the advice in https://stackoverflow.com/a/71611526/80002), adjusted it to work with the most recent versions of the packages and it works well:

I made a small change to Test.WebApp and now it fails:

The change is:
- Add NuGet reference to Common.Logging
- Call
ILog.Info
And now it fails with the error message

Now I understand that StackExchange.Precompilation copies the logic of csc.exe code from 7 years ago. Unfortunately, so far it is the best I have to replace aspnet_compiler.exe.
So my question is simple - how do we fix it?
