I'm trying to build Android 5.1.1_r38 from source on a Intel i5 machine running Ubuntu 16.04.
I've added the binaries for Nexus 6 and selected that option after executing "lunch" in the terminal.
After about an hour running, If gives me the following errors

I've run apt-get update and make clobber and anything else I can think of (note: I'm quite new to ubuntu)
