I'll close this as a duplicate later. The problem is that symbolic links are not enabled and you've not followed the instructions to enable developer mode or grant yourself the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivelege privilege. In order to test and maintain compatibility with older Swift releases, I'm using symbolic links to avoid duplicating the package manifest. SPM also generates symbolic links by default so this is really not an unreasonable ask for developers to enable.
