One such symptom is `member [...] in archive is not an object`. + +**Cause**: The Android build system tends to use many host tools +and to rely on their default behaviors. Some settings change +those tools' behaviors and make them behave in ways that +confuse the build system. Variables known to cause such +issues are `CDPATH` and `GREP_OPTIONS`. + +**Fix**: Build Android in an environment that has as few +customizations as possible. |
