I followed the steps outlined in the top post, and got a working Android image, thanks a lot jonsmirl! I used Ubuntu 14.04 after running into to many issues with 16.04 and that worked like a charm, make sure you have things like git, build-essential and https://source.android.com/source/initia...buntu-1404 installed before starting. Running the build in a Virtualbox VM took about 4h with 4 out of 8 cores (i7-975EE@3.4Ghz) and 8GB RAM assigned to the VM, disk image was on a SSD.
