Thank you. In reality it was even worse when I add the option disabling 
warnings as errors the VM hangs in the middle of the build and those 
messages I got after restarting it and running the incremental build. 
This scenario was reproduced 2 times with clean build. So, my next 
attempt is a clean install with devkits.
