I lunch 1 which is aosp_arm-eng. Then I do make -j 1.
It seems Android.pb's are always reporting missing variant. Is there a way I can force a build of shared libraries. I dont think this is a problem with system/core this error pops up in other custom Android.bp in my own device tree. And as I have shown even lunch aosp_arm-eng fails
Here is a build log

My problem was I had removed bootable/recovery because it was clashing with recovery-twrp. It seems the missing libraries were in bootable/recovery. I deleted bootable/recovery-twrp and brought back bootable/recovery. Problem solved
