DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL:

Lint intermediate files is breaking gradle remote cache because the file ordering in build/intermediates/lint_partial_results/debug/lintAnalyzeDebug/out/lint-definite.xml isn't deterministic (Linux vs MacOS). We noticed it on the IconLocation lint rule.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

Build a project with 2 lint warnings on the IconLocation rule
Execute lintDebug on a Mac
Execute lintDebug on a Linux
Compare the files lint-definite.xml from build/intermediates/lint_partial_results/debug/lintAnalyzeDebug/out. In our experience the 2 warnings are swapped.
