Description
As a workaround to issue #2446 I tried to build rust myself, using the quickstart instructions. The './x setup' command failed when the Python script tried to create a SemLock. SO answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/34032458 suggests for a similar issue that the lack of support for /dev/shm is the reason. ish does not seem to support /dev/shm either.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with the './x setup' command from the quickstart instructions and inspect the Python SemLock error. Compare the reported /dev/shm requirement with iSH's current support for that path. Done means determining and implementing the needed support, or documenting a confirmed limitation with a regression check.
