https://github.com/ashi009/nextjs-wasm

To Reproduce

nvm use 22.11.0
npm i
npm run wasm
npm run dev
# open the dev link in browser 

Current vs. Expected behavior

Currently an error will be displayed

Module parse failed: Unknown element type in table: 0xNaN
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders
Error: Unknown element type in table: 0xNaN

It should print a greeting message instead.

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Webpack

Which stage(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

next dev (local), next build (local), next start (local), Vercel (Deployed), Other (Deployed)

Additional context

This is because since rust 1.82.0, wasm is built with reference type enabled. Webpack v5.97.0 added the support to that, but next.js is still bundling webpack v5.96.1.
