Gradle file paths too long for Windows

Alright, I've seen similar questions but I have yet to find a satisfying solution to this, so I'm opening a new one. The problem is that Gradle produces insanely long file paths that blow past the 240 path limit on Windows. The problem is, once arm-linux-androideabi-ar runs I get errors like this:

arm-linux-androideabi-ar: C:/tmp/ATC/intermediates/ndkBuild/debug/obj/local/armeabi-v7a/objs-debug/
[redacted]/D_/[redacted]/android/[redacted]_ATC/src/main/jni/__/__/__/__/[redacted]/src/main/jni/
__/__/__/__/__/source_code/app/missions/mission_utils/mission_data/mission_difficulty.o: No such 
file or directory
make: *** [C:/tmp/ATC/intermediates/ndkBuild/debug/obj/local/armeabi-v7a/lib[redacted].a] Error 1

I have already changed the buildDir of the gradle project to C:/tmp and stripped as much of it as possible. I have also moved the project itself to the root of the drive, as well as enabled Windows 10 long paths, which are the only suggestions I have found. However, looking at the path, it really looks like Gradle turns .. int __ instead of turning it into a real path, so the path to the file could just as well be:
C:/tmp/ATC/intermediates/ndkBuild/debug/obj/local/armeabi-v7a/objs-debug/[redacted]/D_/[redacted]/android/[redacted]_ATC/source_code/app/missions/mission_utils/mission_data/mission_difficulty.o
Still a string that strikes me as insanely long but it would solve my problem for the time being. Is it possible to convince Gradle to generate these kinds of paths? Is there anything else that I can do? Windows 10 long path support is already enabled
