PS @Tomasz, that was my question concerning /var writable!
I used a cowbuilder where the building user is root, thus the
font database is built in /var/lib/texmf (TEXMFSYSVAR), while
when run as other user it is ~/.texlive2016/... (TEXMFVAR)
You can do
export TEXMFVAR=/path/to/some/writable/dir
before running the make process to get something similar working.
Best
Norbert
