How to troubleshoot this docker buildx build mkdir -p error on m1 arm64 with target linux/amd64?

I am running docker and docker-compose on my arm64 mac and building one image for linux/amd64 target.

I run the following command:

docker buildx build -f /Users/k/Desktop/project/Dockerfile 
    --platform linux/amd64 
    --output type=docker 
    --build-arg BUILD_ENV=production 
    --build-arg NEWRELIC_LICENCE=magic 
    --pull 
    -t 2332.dkr.ecr.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/project:prod-dfsksfdjkfdjfsdkjfsdk 
    /Users/k/Desktop/project

and do get this error:

This is my Dockerfile:

# base image
FROM node:18.6.0-slim as base

# Set working directory
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY package.json yarn.lock ./

FROM base as dependencies

COPY . .
RUN yarn install
RUN yarn test
RUN yarn build
RUN rm -rf node_modules && yarn install --production

FROM base as production
COPY --from=dependencies /usr/src/app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=dependencies /usr/src/app/dist ./dist

CMD ["yarn", "start"]

The content of /Users/k/Desktop/project is a very simple test project with a package.json and yarn.lock (nothing special)

Update:

I do comment the line 5 and then I get error in the line yarn install without specific information..

Most of the commands inside Dockerfile seem to fail and exit with status code 1, without any further information to help me debug or troubleshoot.

How to investigate this further and solve the issue ?
