REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Java version - 1.8.0_333, gradle version 6.8.3, gradle plugin version 4.2.2

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
built project
ACTUAL -
build fails, compileHandsetDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

FREQUENCY : always
