The folder android-ndk-r11c\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\lib64\clang\ contains two identical sub-folders 3.8 and 3.8.243773

$ du -ls *
6764 3.8
6764 3.8.243773

Yep. In a POSIX environment the 3.8 is a symlink to the other, but we can't reasonably do symlinks on Windows (extracting the NDK would require administrator privileges). Nothing that can be done here.

Hi, Dan.
I suggest you to use the mklink /J command that creates directory junction
and doesn't require administrative permissions. You only need NTFS
directory junction here instead of a full symbolic link

A directory junction is a hard link; it can't be added to a zip file.

It's possible that we might eventually fix this, but it would require changing the LLVM configuration (and version info). I am not opposed to doing that, but it goes beyond being just an NDK bug. This works just fine on non-Windows, and keeps things easier to manage, but I can see where the duplicate dirs are annoying on Windows.
