"Maximum call stack size exceeded" in Angular 9 ng build --prod for a library

Question

I have a library that I'm able to compile with Angular 9. But if I change the flag to --prod, which practically makes "enableIvy": false then I get

[error] RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

I introduced a console debug message in function tryLoadModuleUsingPathsIfEligible(extensions, moduleName, loader, state) function and it seems to be a loop with approximately 20 moduleNames. I have to mention that I do NOT have any circular dependency warning if I compile without --prod flag.

Update: I fixed the circular dependencies and I have no more warnings of sort.

I had the same problem with angular 12.1.1, I had no circular dependenicies, the solutution was to change "enableIvy: false" to "compilationMode": "partial".

See angular docs.
