Solana "Exec format error" When Building Hello World

I am trying to run Solana's example-hello-world on WSL 2 (have run it successfully on Linux before) and I am getting the following error:

> $ npm run build:program-rust

...

Anything I am doing wrong?

This is probably an issue with the architecture of the WSL 2 installation. If it isn't x86_64, the bundled bpf tools will fail with exactly that error.

Can you make sure that your system architecture is correct by making sure that uname -m outputs x86_64? If not, be sure to install the correct version of WSL.

I'm no expert in this, but it's surprising that the compilation got past the build and failed at the symbol stripping. To be honest I would expect it to fail earlier with the architecture error, so it may turn out to be something else.
