What seems to be the problem?
Premake5 5.0-beta1 tries to include /usr/bin/bitmap instead of folder with premake5 script.
This is because premake5 is located in /usr/bin.
Here is result:
$ premake5 gmake --gmcommon="$HOME/garrysmod_common"
Selected version 3 of the project generator
Error: /usr/bin/bitmap:1: unexpected symbol near '<\127>'
What did you expect to happen?
Expected successful building of configuration.
What have you tried so far?
Renamed bitmap binary, so premake5 can't find it:
$ sudo mv /usr/bin/bitmap /usr/bin/bitmap.old
$ premake5 gmake --gmcommon="$HOME/garrysmod_common"
Selected version 3 of the project generator

Tried use locally located premake5

How can we reproduce this?
Place premake5 at /usr/bin
$ cp ./premake5 /usr/bin/
Creating project with bitmap folder
-- premake5.lua
print('Including bitmap')
include('bitmap')
-- bitmap/premake5.lua
print('Hello from bitmap!')Place premake5 to /usr/bin and build configuration
$ premake5 gmake
