I'm trying to build a wheel for my package in Linux and get an permission error at a late stage in the build process. This is the error message I get in Linux:

It works fine to build the wheel in Windows, here is the output from the same stage from Windows:

Building the package with "setup.py build-ext" works fine in both Linux and Windows.
Some package information: python is version 3.11.1 skbuild is version 0.17.6 setuptools is version 68.2.2
I running Linux (Ubuntu 22 LTS) through Windows (WSL).
I've tried checking the permissions for all the folders in the _skbuild/, and they are all drwxrwxrwx, and files have permissions -rwxrwxrwx. I also tried running the "setup.py bdist_wheel" as sudo, but with the same error.
