I doubt that you need the root to be writeable. Put your files inside a
globally writeable sub-directory. This allows you to have a dev, bin,
lib, and whatever, within your chroot, without leaving yourself open
someone tearing you a new one.
If somebody says, "but I need to write to root", your go-to answer is
"no, you don't; and get off my lawn."
Also, look at rssh.
