What happened?

I'm trying to build this webpart (React Calendar Feed), but when I try to gulp bundle I run into the following webpack error regarding the automatic inclusion of polyfills (screenshot attached at the end of this message)

Starting subtask 'webpack'
Error - [webpack] 'dist':
[object Object]
[object Object]
[object Object]

Warning - [webpack] 'dist':
163:13-37: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'stream' in 'C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\SharePoint\sp-dev-fx-webparts\samples\react-calendar-feed\node_modules\sax\lib'
BREAKING CHANGE: webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default.
This is no longer the case. Verify if you need this module and configure a polyfill for it.
If you want to include a polyfill, you need to:
	- add a fallback 'resolve.fallback: { "stream": require.resolve("stream-browserify") }'
	- install 'stream-browserify'
If you don't want to include a polyfill, you can use an empty module like this:
	resolve.fallback: { "stream": false }

I found other mentions of this (general) problem for other apps, e.g.

• v5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default facebook/create-react-app#11756
• https://web3auth.io/docs/troubleshooting/webpack-issues
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64557638/how-to-polyfill-node-core-modules-in-webpack-5

However, I was not succesful in applying the proposed solutions to this webpart. If this issue is known for the react-calendar-feed webpart, I would appreciate if someone could help me implementing the solution. Thank you.

Steps to reproduce
