Unfortunately not everyone accepts 🐧 power on their desktop, so this should probably cross compile modules with C extensions.

There's an Amazon Linux Docker image that may be useful for this purpose ... I've been playing around with the attached but haven't gotten to something that's completely baked yet.

rm -rf output
mkdir output
docker build -t build-native .
docker run -v $PWD/output:/output build-native /build.sh native-module1 ...

Awesome @glb, Docker was one of my first thoughts too 😄
