Could you verify /home/build is located on a network file system ? I'm running into almost the same issue and to my current knowledge it is npm which randomly changes stdout to O_NONBLOCK. This and extremely long linking command lines might fill up and cut buffers. So the linking command line just isn't including the last couple of .o files with the result of symbols missing.

I'm still digging into this, but you might get it running by only building on a 'faster' local file system.
