Description

The start-build-env.sh creates a Docker image and creates a user within it which maps to the user ID from the host. In the case where the host UID is very large (> 1 billion or so, not uncommon in large AD deployments), the resultant image fails to build due to /var/log/lastlog and /var/log/faillog growing to consume all available disk space.

These files are not necessary for the build process and if they do not exist, they will not be grown.
