(Firefox Build System :: Android Studio and Gradle Integration, defect)

I try to build fennec at my linux desktop with today's gecko(git commit aea523aed14c26dfd737aeeb51411133cc2470c0), and do the config as [1].
But I still get the error as:

7625:15:10.16 /home/bignose/.mozbuild/android-sdk-linux/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/res/values-v23/styles_base.xml:20: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'.
7627:15:10.16 /home/bignose/.mozbuild/android-sdk-linux/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/res/values-v23/styles_base_text.xml:19: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'.

This is my mozconfig:
# Build Firefox for Android:
ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile/android
ac_add_options --target=arm-linux-androideabi

# With the following Android SDK and NDK:
ac_add_options --with-android-sdk="/path/to/android-sdk/platforms/android-22"
ac_add_options --with-android-ndk="/path/to/android-ndk-r8e"

The ndk version is r8e not r10e as the configure in wiki [1]. It's shown from "./mach bootstrap".
I'm not sure why I go through "android-sdk-linux/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/res/values-v23" folder. I should use android api 22.
