BUILD FAILED in 1s

Our project uses a lot of native libraries (3rd party and our own), and from the stack trace it seems like the issue might be related to one of these libraries. However I’ve been unable to track down which library is causing this. Any further insights or help debugging this would be appreciated.

Steps to reproduce:

Run above command.
