Unable to build shaderc with new experimental gradle plugin android studio - android-studio

Question

I am trying to build shaderc from NDK 12's third party folder. It build properly with "com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3" but gives following error for "com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.8+"
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, "", ...) failed.
C:/SDKL/ndk-bundle/sources/third_party/shaderc/third_party/Android.mk:124: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.
FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':framework:generateJsonModelRelease'.
Build command failed.
