 Most of this is a war of inches, with the enemy using 10,000 paper cuts to bleed your soul dry.

+Most likely, he'll win. (Note: He did, see the Epilogue.  You win some, and you lose all the rest.)
 The opposition's key weapon is the excessive use of unnecessary features.  Not even resulting in bloat, but just growing the dependency graph of installed software on the build system to make the entire thing ''incredibly'' sensitive to almost any difference between their build systems and yours.

 The build system will complain if you attempt to run it as root, even if it's the bullshit root in a container (it can't tell the difference).  Create /home, and then create a user (say "moko") to run the build system.  Also, edit /etc/shells and add /usr/local/bin/bash to the list.  Finally, edit /etc/passwd and change moko's shell to /usr/local/bin/bash.
