First error that I got while lunching was
build/core/product_config.mk:228: *** _nic.PRODUCTS.[[device/sony/c6503/full_c6503.mk]]: "vendor/qcom/lagan/lagan-partial.mk" does not exist. Stop.

Ignoring that error. I compiled
lunch full_c6503-userdebug

But after a hour long compiling I got nothing while checking with this command
find -type f |grep *.img

Build.prop : http://pastebin.com/zqUG5R6U

But I can see a system.img in
out/target/product/generic/obj/PACKAGING/systemimage_intermediates

from device-sony-c6503.

Temporary Workarround

edit the file vendor/sony/c6503/c6503-vendor.mk
And remove the line "$(call inherit-product, vendor/qcom/lagan/lagan-partial.mk)" from it

A build after that can give you fresh working AOSP for Xperia ZL

from device-sony-c6503.

Comparing c6503 to c6603, the differences are in the c6X03-vendor.mk files. The c6503-vendor.mk file can be updated to match yuga by using this instead:

PRODUCT_PLATFORM := Lagan
$(call inherit-product, $(LOCAL_PATH)/c6503-partial.mk)
$(call inherit-product, vendor/sony/lagan/lagan-partial.mk)
$(call inherit-product-if-exists, vendor/qcom/lagan/lagan-partial.mk)

The difference being that instead of looking for lagan-partial under vendor/qcom/lagan, it should be looked for in vender/sony/lagan. And the last line adds a "if-exists" condition, which is the same as removing it as mithun46 noted.

Unfortunately, since the blobs are a downloadable zip file, we can't update this to fix. I'll just fork and create a repository with working files.
