Is it possible to mount a volume on the host during BUILD phase of a docker image?

I'm using centos:6 and need to build an image -using Dockerfile- which has a number of rpms installed (Oracle client, in fact). I don't want to copy/add the rpms inside the image, as it will make the image bulky (and I have to remove the rpms after install, anyway).

Is there a way to mount a folder on the host (CentOS, itself) which contains the rpms, on the image, via Dockerfile and/or using any option of "docker build" command, during the BUILD phase?

There's no way, according to the docs for build and run as well as from my experience.

Mounting things is done when you're running a container, rather than when building an image.
