Speaking of this, how does Nix ensure that `configure' scripts won't discover things (programs, libraries, C include files, etc.) outside the Nix store? It seems that `configure' may need to run inside a chroot where only `/nix/store/*' (and `/bin/sh') are visible. Actually, rather than `/nix/store/*', the chroot would need to have `~/.nix-profile' as `/', with symlinks followed. Plash [0] seems like a good tool to setup such restricted name spaces.
