This is one of the rarer case.

You can try by installing the file command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install file
For reference, this is the error I got: 

➜  src git:(0afea4328b) ./build/install-build-deps.sh
Running as non-root user.
You might have to enter your password one or more times for 'sudo'.

You are trying to build Chromium for Android using Windows, which is not supported at all. Even macOS is not supported for building Chromium for Android. You should try to build it from Linux, more specifically Ubuntu to build it.
