building babel-eslint@7.1.1 with "pre" version of node

I have an own build of node I'd like to use to run yarn tests. It is tagged as v9.0.0-pre. Running yarn gives:

error babel-eslint@7.1.1: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=4".

Is there a workaround to install babel-eslint@7.1.1 with my 'pre' node build?
