Fuchsia won't compile: Image Aseembly Failed

Question

I've been following the steps on Fuchsia.dev for configuring a build environment running on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. I have worked through a few issues to this point but have hit a wall on this last issue and could use some insight/help. Here is the error I get no matter what PRODUCT.BOARD combo I try and build:

Image Assembly Failed 1. ./host_x64/zbi exited with status: exit status: 1

I get a failure with each of these actions :

ACTION //build/images/zedboot:zedboot_image_assembler(//build/toolchain/fuchsia:x64)

ACTION //build/images/fuchsia:fuchsia_image_assembler(//build/toolchain/fuchsia:x64)

ACTION //build/images/fuchsia:fuchsia_prime_assembly_image_assembler(//build/toolchain/fuchsia:x64)

A little more from the log that may be helpful:

I believe the fix for this issue was submitted here, which came shortly after the commit where your JIRI_HEAD is pointing.

Running jiri update and building again should fix the issue.
