It works on webpack 4

Turns out this is not related to SWC: #31166, I've moved it to area: Compiler.

The problem is NodeTargetPlugin here https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/14dd4f912c013f060bf7843a3d5462a51ff3051b/lib/node/NodeTargetPlugin.js#L12

It's missing the _http_common builtin module

In nextjs the plugin is imported here i think
