Resolved as in I got an Android 7 build booting on the Pixel C tablet.

I was using Kubuntu 14.04 so I tried Ubuntu 14.04 and using branch 
android-7.0.0_r7 (not master).

I got the same error when trying to run the emulator after a clean build 
(ERROR: Can't find 'Linux version ' string in kernel image file: ...).

But decided to ignore that. I tried to install the images using the build's 
flashboot, it had the usual USB permission issue but none of the suggested 
fixes worked. (Also the idProduct seems to change each time the tablet is 
plugged into the laptop - not sure what idProduct is actually for the Pixel 
C.) 
I forced the issue by chmod on the corresponding USB dev bus so that I 
could get fastboot working and successfully installed the build's img files 
and the tablet booted fine.

So it could of been master vs branch.
Or USB permissions issues.
But the process works.
