Build problem when using latest CLI (alpha.32)

[brunomenezes]

🙂 Expected behavior

When running the cartesi build command, it should successfully build the application using the cartesi/sdk image.

🫠 Actual behavior

The build fails apparently due to permission denied when the system user runs the cartesi-machine that tries to access the linux/bin (Logs attached)

🧪 Minimal test case

The usual cartesi create --template=<name> project_name, cd project_name and run cartesi build.

🌎 Environment

It happens when using the cartesi-cli@2.0.0-alpha.32 on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS (Noble Numbat) (more details above). It was also tested with cartesi-cli@2.0.0-alpha.30 and the build finished as expected.

✔️ Possible solutions

It is likely a regression, and the access to linux/bin is more restricted than it should be in the latest release.
