You should be running the build on a machine you have full control over IMO, and the /core/packages/ directory definitely needs to be writable by whatever user is executing the PHP process. I typically run this locally to build the core transport and then upload it to a server where I’ve checked out or exported the same revision, but PHP definitely needs to be able to write to the file system to build the transport package.
