I am trying to build AOSP from source for the Nexus 6P and encountering the following error. This issue started happening with branch android-8.0.0_r17 (OPR5.170623.007) and has continued in branch android-8.0.0_r31 (OPR5.170623.011). Branches prior to *_r17 did not have this issue for me.

Similar questions have been asked before, but the suggestion to increase the Java heap size(here also) did not work for me. Nor did syncing the repo again, syncing repo with a single tread, or building with a single thread (in suspicion of running out of memory). prebuilt/misc/linux-x86/bison/bison does exist (as suggested here and here). The question has also been unanswered on XDA Developers for branch *_12.
My base system is Arch Linux (4.13.11-1-hardened), virtualenv in place (to use Python2 as python), and JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk. I'm out of ideas and would really like to continue developing my Android projects. Any suggestions?
