I've found the read-only issue constantly and have been running with
this local patch to tools.Darwin.mk for a long time already:

-TOOLS_PLATFORM.patch?=         /usr/bin/patch
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.patch?=         /usr/bin/patch -g0

Not sure if it's OK to submit it.  Other than that, I have not
experienced other issues myself.
