One should apply this patch to get the things working https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/223100/

Open build/core/clang/HOST_x86_common.mk file in your android source code directory with some editor add these lines, as mentioned in this link

For Android Lollipop or any earlier version, make sure to keep -no-integrated-as while applying this patch. Make sure the line continuations are proper(\ at the end of each line except the last line).

But, -no-integrated-as is removed in Marshmallow.
