Just make sure to run it on arm.. ./RootStock-NG.sh -c bb.org-debian-jessie-console-v4.4 Generates: https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-10-02/console/debian-8.9-console-armhf-2017-10-02.tar.xz and: sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --img-1gb bbx15-debian-8.9-console-armhf-2017-10-02 --dtb am57xx-beagle-x15 --rootfs_label rootfs --hostname BeagleBoard-X15 Generates: https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-10-02/console/bbx15-debian-8.9-console-armhf-2017-10-02-1gb.img.xz > 2) Can Image Builder now run on a host Linux machine with the Linaro > toolchain, for instance, or is it still intended to be run on an Armhf > device? > > This wiki from 2015 says build on ARMHF: > https://elinux.org/BeagleBoneBlack_Rebuild_Debian_Image_Using_image-builder, > "QEMU is un-reliable, thus no longer supported...

I just run this every week: Thing is with all the images, there's really not "one" script...
