AOSP version 11 build on Ubuntu 18.04 failed (getting segfaults)

I tried to build AOSP using the following commands:
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-11.0.0_r27
repo sync
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch aosp_x86_64-eng
make -j8
It runs for about 1.5 hours before erroring out. Here is what I see in the log:

My system has 64 gb of RAM and I tried lowering the j value but get the same results. Repo sync is successful.

I'm not an usual contributor to S/O but I spent a lot of time fixing this particular problem for someone so I thought it'd be nice if I gave you my solution for this.
zipinfo is likely crashing because there is a preloaded library called libAppProtection, installed in /usr/local, that crashes under the conditions imposed by the AOSP build. I had found a workaround for this particular problem but if the cause of the problem is the same as what I faced, you will have further problems down the line for which you won't find a workaround.
GDB stacktrace of 'fec' another program crashing the same way
In Firefox shows only blank pages - even about:config is just white it describes that the library is related to Citrix Workspace App SDK.
If you observe the same thing I did when running zipinfo or fec (in my case) with GDB, I can only recommend that you remove this program while you deal with building the AOSP sources. I know this has worked and did not cause any drawbacks for the client. Maybe just disabling the preloaded library in /etc/ld.so.preload would work but I have not tried that and since I don't know anything about Citrix, I would advise against doing that.

ubuntu 15.10 64bit build Android source 5.0 version

How can I fix this problem？When I was building the Android source of 5.0 with
'make -j4', it was causing a problem.
This is the error log:

In my case, I get similar error when build Marshmallow 6.0.1_r1 in Ubuntu 18.04.
If you get similar errors like this:
build/core/binary.mk:646: recipe for target 'out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/aidl_intermediates/aidl_language_l.cpp' failed
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/aidl_intermediates/aidl_language_l.cpp] Aborted (core dumped)
Look at the line carefully, it's a core dumped, so I use coredumpctl list, navigate to the end of list with G, then figure out the core dump executed path (right column) is prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/flex/flex-2.5.39
And the PREBUILT file shows:
xb#dnxb:~/my_android_src/prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/flex$ cat PREBUILT
The objects in this prebuilt directory can be rebuilt
using the source archive hosted at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/flex/files/
Commands:
./configure
make CFLAGS="-static" LDFLAGS="-static"
# (Disregard the errors at the end of the build)
rm flex
make CFLAGS="-static" LDFLAGS="-static" flex
# Copy the linker command line, replace it with static libm.a

xb#dnxb:~/my_android_src/prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/flex$
That's it, the first 2 lines said that you probably need to rebuild yourself if something went wrong since this flex-2.5.39 binary is prebuilt in another platform.
So simply untar the flex-2.5.39.tar.gz of this directory, go to the extracted flex-2.5.39 directory, then follows the PREBUILT instruction above.
In short, you need to do the following steps:
cd <ANDROID_TREE_DIR>/prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/flex
tar -zxvf flex-2.5.39.tar.gz
cd flex-2.5.39
make CFLAGS="-static" LDFLAGS="-static"
rm flex
make CFLAGS="-static" LDFLAGS="-static" flex

Now try to do make <module> -j4 again, no longer abort on such error.
p/s: Alternative way will be LANG=C make pm -j4 if you see something like LC_* error message.
p/s2: I also need symlink ld as below to fixed 'out/host/linux-x86/obj/lib/libart.so' failed and error: unsupported reloc 42:

Building a kernel for Android: multiple target patterns

I am trying to build a kernel for Android following the instructions here.
Checking out the msm/angler:
git checkout -b android-msm-angler-3.10-marshmallow-mr1 origin/android-msm-angler-3.10-marshmallow-mr1
After make angler_defconfig, make results in the following error.
Makefile:796: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
Would somebody help me to resolve this issue?

You can change prebuilts gcc
from:
arm/arm-eabi-X.X
to:
aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-X.X

go to aosp files.
In my scenario:
cd /aosp_files/out/target/product/angler
type in terminal:
dd if=kernel bs=1 skip=$(LC_ALL=C grep -a -b -o $'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' kernel | cut -d ':' -f 1) | zgrep -a 'Linux version'
-> then You will see output with commit sha-1
Linux version 3.10.73-gde1f200
copy your sha-1 after 'g' -> de1f200
go to your kernel_files
git checkout your_sha1
then
export PATH=$(pwd)/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin:$PATH
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android-
make angler_defconfig
make -j4
If You will get error
make distclean
repat from 4.
Should work : )

android ndk-build error on ubuntu 12.10 32 bit

i have downloaded the latest android ndk r8b on my ubuntu 12.10 beta 2 .
i have included the ndk directory in the PATH variable (when i write ndk-b in terminal and hit tab it auto-completes it) .
but when i try :
cd android-ndk/samples/san-angeles/jni
ndk-build
i get this error:
make: /home/mixpro/Android/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: Command not found
make: /home/mixpro/Android/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: Command not found
Compile thumb : sanangeles <= importgl.c
make: /home/mixpro/Android/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: Command not found
make: *** [/home/mixpro/Android/android-ndk/samples/san-angeles/obj/local/armeabi/objs/sanangeles/importgl.o] Error 127
when checking the /android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin directory using ls i get:
arm-linux-androideabi-addr2line arm-linux-androideabi-g++
arm-linux-androideabi-gdbtui arm-linux-androideabi-size
arm-linux-androideabi-c++filt arm-linux-androideabi-gcc-4.6.x-google
arm-linux-androideabi-gprof arm-linux-androideabi-strings
arm-linux-androideabi-cpp arm-linux-androideabi-gcov
arm-linux-androideabi-readelf arm-linux-androideabi-elfedit
arm-linux-androideabi-gdb arm-linux-androideabi-run
meaning there is no arm-linux-androideabi-gcc in the directory

I am afraid that somehow you got arm-linux-androideabi-addr2line arm-linux-androideabi-gcc deleted. On linux, it is just a symlink to arm-linux-androideabi-gcc-4.6.x-google, so it's very easy to restore it. But maybe, to be on the safe side, it's worthwhile to reinstall NDK.

you should create symbolic link like this : ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.7 "/home/sofien/Bureau/android-ndk-r8c/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc"

How do you create a loadable kernel module for Android?

I know there a number of walkthroughs and tutorials floating around out there which describe this activity, but after having read many of them I still can't get this working. If anyone has the patience to wade through the steps I've taken (posted below) and suggest where I may have gone off track I'd be very appreciative. I've spent about a day and a half staring at make files and reading walkthroughs so literally any suggestions would be helpful.
Environment:
I'm using an Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit vm.
I'm hosting from a 64 bit windows 7
My Core 2 Duo does not have the hardware support for 64 bit VMs so i'm trying to compile against Android 2.1 kernel
I have installed Java 1.5 from the Dapper repo and removed my 1.6 installation
The rest of the tooling has been acquired according the Android dev documentation...
As per Initializing a Build Environment:
Java:
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main multiverse"
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main multiverse"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
Other required:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev libreadline5-dev libz-dev libgl1-mesa-dev
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-i386 libc6-dev-i386
Then from Downloading the Source Tree:
Repo:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
$ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b eclair
$ repo sync
$ gpg --import (imported the huge key)
And from Building the System:
Initialize:
$ source build/envsetup.sh
Choose a Target:
$ lunch generic-user
Build the Code:
$ make -j4

Output of make -j4:

So it turns out i've got some problems here. I assume that once i've overcome these issues, i'll have an environment capable of compiling kernel modules. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Next I head into my directory containing my module.c file and it's makefile. Contents of makefile below:
obj-m += mymodule.o
CROSS_COMPILE=~/WORKING_DIRECTORY/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi-
KERNEL_DIR ?= /home/<myuser>/WORKING_DIRECTORY
VERSION = v1.1
all:
make -C $(KERNEL_DIR) M=$(PWD) ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$(CROSS_COMPILE) modules
rm -rf *.c~
rm -rf *.mod*
rm -rf *.o
clean:
make -C $(KERNEL_DIR) M=$(PWD) clean
I have very little experience with make and makefiles, but this looked reasonable to me. My main concern with this file is the KERNEL-DIR variable. I tried a few different values for that variable, but got all sorts of errors where I do not with it's current value. Of course, it could still be wrong, so any comments here are welcome.
So, as far as I know, I should be able to execute make with no args or anything and will figure out what it needs to do. I have tried make, make -f both with and without sudo. All four permutations yield the same results:
make -C /home/<myuser>/WORKING_DIRECTORY M=/home/<myuser>/Desktop/<MyModuleDir> ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/WORKING_DIRECTORY/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi- modules

You'll notice a few screwy warnings, but as best as I can tell, they are not real problems. If anyone feels differently about these, please say so.

I guess that last line sounds pretty suspicious but I have no idea what to do about it. Apart from the few strange things i've mentioned, it would appear that this all went smoothly. However, after the whole thing completes, I can't find the *.ko file anywere. I did a ls -alRg | grep *.ko on my home directory and it turns up nothing. I'm stumped. If I can provide any more information or run any tests or try anything differently i'll be checking in frequently.

Sorry for being late, but hope it helps:
http://tthtlc.wordpress.com/2011/12/29/how-to-write-a-kernel-module-on-android-sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-s/
I wrote and tested the code on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S and it works (in general in should work for any Android phone).
Connecting via adb and USB, and “su” to root, the “lsmod” listed all the kernel module (in general, the article at
http://web.archive.org/web/20121106004141/http://developer.sonymobile.com/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel gave a very good coverage of what to do in Linux kernel compilation for SonyEricsson phone):
lsmod
android_module 654 0 - Live 0x7f007000 (P)
sdio 16532 0 - Live 0x7f000000
“android_module” was the one I had inserted via insmod android_module.ko.
Here’s how to do it:
First the original program was copied from:
http://rechtzeit.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/77/
Or reproduced as follows:
android_module.c:
#include"linux/module.h"
#include"linux/kernel.h"
//replace the "" with angular brackets
int init_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Hello android kernel...\n");
return 0;
}
void cleanup_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Goodbye android kernel...\n");
}
Makefile:
obj-m += android_module.o
all:
make -C /home/tteikhua/android/sony_ericsson_src/58/kernel/ M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
make -C /home/tteikhua/android/sony_ericsson_src/58/kernel/ M=$(PWD) clean
The directory where the kernel is located (“-C” above) is where kernel is located.
And the following command will use the Makefile from above:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make
As shown above, the cross compiler I had used is from CodeSourcery.
And after insmod android_module.ko you can see the debugging message in dmesg output:

And the “Goodbye” is when rmmod android_module is executed. In between are debugging message from other components in the kernel.
Final words:
The above are written in 2011, for more modern resources, please refe to the following to get started:
https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/kernel/modular-kernels

https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/kernel/loadable-kernel-modules

I think I've red that emulator kernel does not support module, so you must compile also the kernel with modules support.
I hope that this link will help you

There are two things you'll need to do. Firstly, create an emulator kernel that supports loadable kernel modules.
There's a comprehensive post here covering the process of setting up the emulator kernel.
There are 2 parts of the instructions to alter:
I find it easiest to keep the kernel within the repo area (in this case, ~/WORKING_DIRECTORY), like so:
cd ~/WORKING_DIRECTORY
mkdir kernel
cd kernel
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git
The branch information is no longer correct, however, so where it says:
git checkout -t origin/android-goldfish-2.6.29 -b goldfish
use this instead:
git checkout -t archive/android-gldfish-2.6.29 -b goldfish
As you've found out, the kernel by default is not configured with loadable module support. Enable before compiling. After, this step:
make ARCH=arm goldfish_defconfig
do this:
make ARCH=arm menuconfig
A text-based menu will show up. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to navigate, Space to select an option, Enter to expand a menu (menus have --->) at the end of the line, and Esc-Esc to go back a menu.
Select "Enable loadable module support" by scrolling down and hitting Space
Hit Esc-Esc to exit, and hit Enter to save the new configuration
Now build. Using your setup, it would be:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/<myuser>/WORKING_DIRECTORY/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi-
Now that that's done you can do the second part, which is making a loadable kernel module. You were almost there, but because you didn't have the kernel source for the emulator, it didn't work. Just take the makefile you have and change KERNEL_DIR to:
KERNEL_DIR ?= /home/<myuser>/WORKING_DIRECTORY/kernel/common
