Description

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/c27354dac64f1f8f144171110c0b256a5384509c/build/makefile_base.mak#L1241

Just a small fix I noticed, there are duplicates:

		$(WINEMAKER) --nosource-fix --nolower-include --nodlls --nomsvcrt \
			--nosource-fix --nolower-include --nodlls --nomsvcrt \

Research direction

Open build/makefile_base.mak around line 1241 from the linked revision and inspect the repeated WINEMAKER options. Remove the duplicate option sequence while preserving the intended command, then verify the Makefile remains valid and the build command no longer repeats those flags.
