I experimented with this but eventually gave up. The folder was natively the outer system's filesystem and "shared" inward, and that means things like non-case-sensitivity on Mac or lack of proper permissions on Windows, not to mention the extra sharing overhead whenever running a build or whatever.

By "gave up", do you mean the shared-folder idea, or the whole thing, i.e. using a Linux VM for dev from a Mac / Windows host? I'm seriously pondering not having to deal with re-installing my dev environment on the Mac because even with Homebrew and rbenv and such tools, dependency hell is around every corner.\
Gave up on the shared folder thing and contented myself with the whole toolchain being in the inner system.
