Elastic beanstalk postinstall errors when using webpack

I'm trying to deploy my fluxible node.js app to elastic beanstalk and I'm getting a permission error when I try to run the postinstall step. Is there a configuration I should be setting on elastic beanstalk?

"postInstall":  "node_modules/.bin/webpack --config webpack.config.production.js",

Error

 Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/tmp/deployment/application/node_modules/unicode/category/Cc.js'

Elastic beanstalk has an incompatibility with the unicode node module.

This is the workaround that AWS support gave me that works using ebextensions.

.ebextensions/unicode.config

packages:
  yum:
    unicode-ucd: []

commands:
  symlink_unicode:
    command: "ln -fs /usr/share/unicode/ucd/UnicodeData.txt /usr/share/unicode/UnicodeData.txt"
