Has anyone dealt with this somehow? > The same way you deal with any product that does something like that. You create its own file system that you mount R/W at that mount point. You may have done this even for /etc and /var at some point in the past. If code installed into that directory on the root, copy it out into the R/W file system at a maintenance mount point, then unmount and re-mount over the original mount point / directory. Sometimes you may want / need a symlink also at the "expected" location to point to where you are mounting it (for example, what you do for CRON). See the z/OS Unix System Services planning manual for which talks about these sort of things for a R/O root and/or a shared file system environment.
