Then you may meet one compile error:

FAILED: out/soong/.intermediates/system/tools/aidl/libaidl-common/darwin_x8664static/gen/yacc/system/tools/aidl/aidl_language_y.cpp out/soong/.intermediates/system/tools/aidl/libaidl-common/darwin_x8664static/gen/yacc/system/tools/aidl/aidl_language_y.h

    git cherry-pick c0c852bd6fe462b148475476d9124fd740eba160

    mm

2.Replace prebuilt bison binary with patched binary

    cp /Volumes/AOSP/out/host/darwin-x86/bin/bison /Volumes/AOSP/prebuilts/misc/darwin-x86/bison/

3.Build
