This is an nginx idiosyncrasy: it accesses the default error log location even 
when it has been changed or turned off: [1]
Failure during this access was not blocking: it was reported, but everything 
worked just fine. This is why it was viable to ignore it.

Fortunately, very recently they addressed this: [2] (I had originally 
investigated the issue before this fix, kudos for bringing it up!)
Let me iterate on the patch to try and make use of the new command line option 
when on a read-only fs.

Subject: Re: [osv-dev] [PATCH] nginx: make it work on read-only fs

The patch looks good but when I build and run it I still get a warning about 
read-only FS:

./scripts/build fs=virtiofs export=all image=nginx -j$(nproc)

sudo PATH=build/downloaded_packages/qemu/build/tools/virtiofsd:$PATH 
./scripts/run.py --virtio-fs-tag=myfs --virtio-fs-dir=$(pwd)/build/export 
--qemu-path build/downloaded_packages/qemu/build/qemu-system-x86_64

By default, nginx writes to various files, mainly for logging and
caching. In order for it to work with read-only file systems, this patch
provides an alternative nginx configuration file redirecting all these
write paths to /tmp (which is backed by ramfs and thus is read-write).

On the way, nginx is also updated to 1.19.7 (current latest).
