clang-12: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

  报错提示libpdfium-libopenjpeg2.a无法被ld.lld识别，被标记为unknown file type。

解决方法

  先用file命令查看libpdfium-libopenjpeg2.a的文件属性。正常的静态库文件会作以下提示，表明这是一个正确的静态库：

libpdfium-libopenjpeg2.a:current ar archive

  但是这里确提示"empty"，表明这是一个空文件。

  于是，我删掉out/soong/.intermediates/external/pdfium下面的所有文件，重新正确编译生成libpdfium-libopenjpeg2.a后，此错误被修复。
