Building v8 on ubuntu (docker)

Question

I try to build v8 on ubuntu (using docker because I don't have root access on my dev environment).

I try to follow the instruction here https://github.com/v8mips/v8mips/wiki/Get-the-code

I can get the depot_tools but when I run fetch v8, I get the following error:

Error: Command '/usr/bin/python v8/third_party/binutils/download.py' 
    returned non-zero exit status 1 in /home
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/depot_tools/fetch.py", line 300, in 
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/home/depot_tools/fetch.py", line 295, in main
    return run(options, spec, root)
  File "/home/depot_tools/fetch.py", line 289, in run
    return checkout.init()
  File "/home/depot_tools/fetch.py", line 132, in init
    self.run_gclient(*sync_cmd)
  File "/home/depot_tools/fetch.py", line 76, in run_gclient
    return self.run(cmd_prefix + cmd, **kwargs)
  File "/home/depot_tools/fetch.py", line 66, in run
    return subprocess.check_output(cmd, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 574, in check_output
    raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd, output=output)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '('gclient', 'sync', '--with_branch_heads')'
    returned non-zero exit status 2

Do anyone know what could be the issue? Here is my Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:latest
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y git
RUN apt-get install -y python
WORKDIR /home
RUN git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
ENV PATH /home/depot_tools:"$PATH"

I then run the docker with docker run -it v8build (name of the docker image) and run fetch v8

Edit (adding version info):

Ubuntu: 16.04
git: 2.7.4
python: 2.7.12
