Bazel build errors "'string' object is not callable"

[tobine]

Environment information:

• AGI version: Latest master
• Host OS: Windows

Bug description
When building the latest AGI on Windows I hit two separate errors stating:

'string' object is not callable

I'm able to fix both of these errors by removing paren chars "()" in two "cc_toolchain.strip_executable()" lines. The full error messages are below.

Is this a tool versioning issue? When I run "bazel --version" the output is "bazel 2.2.0"

Reproduction steps
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Pull the latest master code on Windows and build according to instructions

You should use Bazel 2.0.0. Can you double check the version and try with bazel 2.0.0 ?
