Description

The following run target may lead to very complicated errors

https://github.com/mscdex/cpu-features/blob/2faca5705cddb7ac388ad2d5e2242b7a7d427f3c/package.json#L16C38-L16C53

When running pnpm install on our repository, it try to build the package, and in my case was failing, but since it is optional build, it was kinda failing in silence, BUT it was creating a buildcheck.gypi empty file, and this started a 4 hours journey trying to figure out the issue.

I would have save so much time if the buildcheck.js was creating the buildcheck.gypi file instead of piping through >.

I am open to make the PR if this is an acceptable change.
