My point here is that NixOS has a very good way to avoid such risks. This way is called "chroot builds". I think that this is much lower price than patching every single package to look into /var/run/booted- system/lib/modules.
BTW, if we do care about non-chroot builds and/or "nix on non-NixOS", we should at least apply the glibc patch sent by Jack Cummings on 09.03.2012 that fixes some $glibc/lib/*.so rpath issues. -- Yury G.
