DexIndexOverflowException with build tool 21.0.0

Question

I updated my SDK to Android 5.0, Lollipop, and also updated the build tools to the latest (v21.0.0). Now, I get an error during the dex phase, which I've pasted below. Does anyone know how to fix this?

/Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk/build-tools/21.0.0/dx --dex --num-threads=4 --output ...
  Error Code:
    2
  Output:
