source code: apache-log4j-2.12.3 download from https://downloads.apache.org/logging/log4j/
os: ubuntu-20.04
maven: Apache Maven 3.6.3
codeql: 2.7.3

I can successfully build log4j without any problems with "mvn package -DskipTests ", but when I tried to create a codeql database with "codeql database create log4j.db -c "mvn package -X -DskipTests", I got the following error messages:

```bash

```

Start by reproducing the reported build with Apache Log4j 2.12.3 on Ubuntu 20.04 using Maven 3.6.3, first running `mvn package -DskipTests` and then the shown CodeQL database command. Capture the complete compiler output for the `log4j-api-java9` module and compare both runs. Done means identifying a reproducible CodeQL-related cause and confirming that database creation completes successfully.
