NO_KERNEL_CROSS_COMPILE - For some kernels, we use gcc-10 to compile. And some setups will require this flag to be added to compile the kernel properly. 
BLISS_BUILD_VARIANT - (vanilla, gapps, foss) - We currently use this to specify what type of extra apps and services to iunclude in the build. 

$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch android_x86_64-userdebug
$ export NO_KERNEL_CROSS_COMPILE=true
$ export BLISS_BUILD_VARIANT=foss
