That seems to be mostly an issue if you use Debian or Debian based distro
since they are following the HFS standard - see

Yeah, a LXC based system will potentially give you some trouble, so either
linking /dev/shm to /run/shm or changing the mount point might fix it, i.e.

   sudo rm -rf /dev/shm && sudo ln -s /run/shm /dev/shm

You might want to be careful with that since it mucks around deeply in your
system. Way back in 2004 or so I accidentally deleted /dev/null by accident
and it took a while to figure out what was wrong on the next reboot since
until then it did not really cause too much trouble.

I tried a little google magic, but I did not see anything that pointed to a
bug in the python multiprocessing module hardcoding /dev/shm and I am too
lazy atm to take a look myself. Either way, POSIX demands /dev/shm to be
there, so you might want to talk to the provider of your build machine to
get that issue fixed ;).
