I tried to build CPython out of the source tree with a customized read-only source tree (chmod -R -w). I got an error when running tests: tests want to write into a build/ directory... in the source tree.
Attached patch fixes this issue.

Ah, there is one and only one failing test:
======================================================================
ERROR: test_synopsis_sourceless (test.test_pydoc.PydocDocTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

test_synopsis_sourceless() should create a script, build it and test the generated .pyc file. So we control how the .pyc file is created.

New changeset f7e0784 by Victor Stinner in branch 'master':
bpo-30284: Fix regrtest for out of tree build (bpo-1481)

I don't think that the test_pydoc failure is very important. I'm not interested to fix it right now.
The main blocker issue was regrtest and it's now fixed in the master branch.
I don't recall any user complaining about issues with read-only source tree, so I don't think that it's worth it to backport the fix. If I'm wrong, please comment the issue ;-)
