What Victor means that we would like to have clear instructions how to 
reproduce the problem ourselves. Could you please provide step by step 
instructions how I could set up a build environment on a X86_64 PC with 
a standard Linux distro (Fedora, Debian/Ubuntu)?

What packages have to be installed? Do I have to download any extra 
packages? How do I have to set up my build environment? Which commands 
do I have to execute? Is there a container image available that comes 
with everything pre-installed?

You mentioned well-documented process by the Android team. Could you 
please provide links to the relevant documents?
