On Linux, R CMD build launches file.path(R.home('bin'), 'build'), which
is a short script. It should be possible to step into R CMD build by
doing the same thing in an interactive R session:

R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES= LC_COLLATE=C R --no-restore
# set hooks as needed
debug(system)
debug(system2)
# run CMD build
tools:::.build_packages(args = 'package/source/directory')
